The Portuguese Football Federation announced, the day before yesterday, the first ever call-up of the National Women's Under/23 Futsal Team, which will begin its activity next week, under the technical command of Ricardo Azevedo. The announced squad includes 15 players, with a notable presence being Rita Ferreira, the 18-year-old goalkeeper who has been a regular for Novasemente.
