A Fifa esteve de novo no CT Rei Pelé nesta quarta-feira. A visita é mais uma etapa da avaliação técnica do centro de treinamento do Santos, que concorre a abrigar uma seleção na Copa do Mundo Feminina de 2027 — torneio que o Brasil recebe entre 24 de junho e 25 de julho.

Desta vez, os avaliadores da entidade passaram pela estrutura interna e conferiram o que o clube melhorou nos últimos meses. Foi a terceira visita da Fifa ao local: duas delas focaram a infraestrutura de modo geral, e uma foi feita por um agrônomo, atento às condições do gramado.

Ainda em 2026, o Santos pretende iniciar a troca completa do gramado dos dois campos por um sistema híbrido — modelo que a Fifa exige, por exemplo, nas arenas do Mundial.

O clube já entregou um setor de recovery com duas câmaras hiperbáricas, usadas para acelerar a recuperação de lesões, além de uma cápsula de flutuação que simula gravidade zero e privação sensorial para relaxar os atletas. Também montou sala de nutrição e área de fisiologia com equipamento de avaliação cardioespirométrica.

Haverá ainda outra inspeção técnica, sem data marcada. A Fifa deve divulgar os locais escolhidos entre janeiro e fevereiro de 2027. O CT, segundo o clube, também recebeu representantes da seleção dos Estados Unidos.
