São Paulo will have another representative with the Brazilian Women’s National Team for its final fixtures of 2026. Alongside defender Tayla, fitness coach Camila Barros will join Arthur Elias’s coaching staff for the friendlies against Japan. The matches will take place on November 29 at Edion Peace Wing Stadium in Hiroshima and on December 5 at JFE Harenokuni Stadium in Okayama.
This is Camila’s third call-up. Her first stint with the national team came in February 2025, during a training camp at Granja Comary in Rio de Janeiro state. She rejoined the staff in October 2026 and now has another opportunity to contribute to the national team.

“Working with the Brazilian National Team is a great learning opportunity, especially during this period of preparation for the World Cup. I see these stints as a chance to further develop my skills and bring that experience back to the club,” she emphasized.
Camila’s journey with the Tricolor began in 2017, when the club partnered with Centro Olímpico to compete in the São Paulo State Under-17 Championship. An Under-15 team was also formed at the time and won the state title. Following that work, the coaching staff and players were brought into São Paulo’s youth setup on a permanent basis.
Camila started as a fitness coach in the club’s youth ranks, working with the Under-16 and Under-17 teams from 2017 to 2021 and the Under-20 team in 2022. That same year, she joined São Paulo’s senior women’s team, where she has won major titles, including the 2025 Women’s Super Cup and the 2026 Brazilian Women’s Championship.
For her, those achievements helped open doors. “The work done by both the Health and Performance Department and the coaching staff was crucial to my call-ups. I believe the great work we have been building year after year, with important titles along the way, helped me earn these call-ups,” she said.
