Dilma Mendes has significantly impacted women's football in Brazil, notably through her work with Formiga, starting from her youth. Mendes trained Formiga from age nine and now, over 30 years later, they are reunited for the Football 7 World Championship. Mendes, a two-time best women's seven-a-side coach, has selected Formiga to lead the team in this international tournament. Additionally, Formiga's wife, Erica de Jesus, will serve as assistant coach. Mendes's commitment to developing talent since 2019 continues with her belief in the sport's growth and the potential of both experienced and new players.
Mendes, twice voted the best women's seven-a-side coach in the world, has called up the 47-year-old Formiga to lead the fight for a second world title.
I reached out to Formiga and told her we needed her as a legendary player. I truly believe in this sport because we have seen events growing more and more.
