Superliga Brasil 2023/2024

Bauru is hitting another signing. This is Fran Richter, who was once from Maringá and Valinhos. I was in Indonesia. The 25-year-old and 1.84 m left-hander will have the best opportunity of her career, but should be an option for the likely starter Edinara. Anyway, the cast of Sesi Bauru is full-bodied.

So far, the foreign players confirmed for 2023/2024: Dobriana Rabadzhieva, Bulgarian winger (Praia Clube); Nelmaira Valdez, Venezuelan spiker (Pinheiros); Elina Rodriguez, Argentine winger (Fluminense); Jenna Grey, North American setter and Yonkaira Peña, Dominican pointers (both in Minas); Brie King, Canadian setter and Veronica Jones Perry, North American spiker (both Sesc RJ Flamengo). They still need to be confirmed by the clubs, already spoken: Tomaki Matsui, Japanese setter (Unilife Maringá); Emily Maglio, Canadian central (Sesc RJ Flamengo); Nia Reed, opposite, and Brionne Butler, US central (Osasco); Annie Mitchem, North American spiker (Minas); Aleksandra Uzelac, Serbian winger and Claire Felix, North American central (Fluminense); Sofya Kuznetsova, Russian spiker (Praia Clube).

Aleksandra Uzelac is officially a FLUMINENSE player. High expectations for her in the super league and for ckube in it. The relationship has everything to be successful.

Expectation for the season: the twelfth team. Bradesco has the vacancy but has not commented on its participation. Several athletes left. If it stays in series B, the CBV (Brazilian Volleyball Confederation) will have to approve who gets the vacancy from Bradesco. Taubaté is the one who should "inherit".

This coming week, in addition to the stage in Brazil of the League of Nations, the internal market should move. Maringá and Brasília, which should fight for a place in the playoffs, are still with a reduced squad. Blumenau, which has the mission to escape relegation, also needs to hire. Something tells me there will be surprises...

Very bad news for the Brazilian team and Fluminense. Lara - who would be the national team's starter in the League of Nations - had a broken knee and will undergo surgery. It is out, not only from the VNL selection, but from the 2023/2024 Superliga. Fluminense will still decide what to do to replace the loss of its captain and main center/blocker.

Now it's official. Bradesco, undefeated champion of the superliga series B, gave up playing next season's series A. It was already showing that it did not intend to compete in the main category of women's volleyball in Brazil by not renewing with several players. The CBV has already invited Vôlei Taubaté, third place in the B series, to replace Bradesco. Meanwhile, Bkumenau, another team that rose, is confirmed.

Very hot rumors: Reinaldo left the direction of Pinheiros, taking his place the energetic Duda, ex-Brasília. Immediately, I brought Sonaly, also ex-Brasília, in addition to setter Amanda Sehn, who ran out of space at Fluminense. And, Gabi Cândido, who would defend Pinheiros too, changed course in prose and hit with the strong Sesi Bauru. Except for the coach, everything is yet to be made official.

Fluminense officially announces the "prodigy girl of Serbia", Aleksandra Uzelac before the confrontation of its national team against Brazil, in Brasília, for the League of Nations. Uzelac's credentials for the 2023/2024 superleague: Serbia's highlight in the current League of Nations; third lkugar, for Zelenicar in the last Serbian league; highest scorer and best server of the same event; Under 20 World Runner-up in 2021, and Under 19 European runner-up in 2020 2 2022. Need more? 

Still as runmor, to be confirmed:
1. The winger Mariana Brambilla comes from France to play for Unilife Maringá. Good request to the paranaense team.
2. Sesi Bauru was not satisfied. Larissa Gongra, formerly of Fluminense, could be the "fifth" center of the team. Unnecessary for both parties.
3. Mariana Cassemiro, from Italy to Blumenau.
Confirmed. Maiara Basso, who is on the Brazilian national team - Liga das Nações - will play at Sesi Bauru.

Finally, Bauru made official the hiring of spiker Maiara Basso, who serves the Brazilian national team in the League of Nations. Time to look fondly at Bauru. Tomorrow, I intend to talk a little about the foreigners in the 2023/2024 Superliga.

One more speculated name: setter Mikaela, ex-São Caetano is taken for granted in Brasilia. The club hasn't made it official yet, but I say it's going there. The starter, however, should continue to be the very good Ju Carrijo.

Another repatriated player. The opposite Mariana Brambilla, who passed through the United States, Greece and France, is back and will defend Maringá this coming season.

Today is the day to comment on the foreigners confirmed for the next season. Let's go to each one. Starting with Fluminense, there are two confirmed: Alelsandra Uzelac, Serbia, Pontoira, 1.88m, Serbian national team, 18 years old. Award-winning, in your country and in Europe, under 19. It's already a reality in your country's national team. It has everything to grow and stand out in the Superliga, and Elina Rodriguez, Argentina, Ponteira, 26 years old, 1.89m, is also an award-winning player. It will be his second year at Fluminense, he played in the Olympics for his country. In the finals, Fluminense will do very well.
Gerdau Minas: Younkaira Peña, Dominican Republic, 1.90m, Pointer, national team, 30 years old. Award-winning, heavy-handed, best winger in the last two editions of the Superliga. It will be the third season in Brazil, the second in Minas, it was at Sesc Flamengo before. No comments, international athlete.
Osasco: hired two American centrals, Brionne Butler and Callie Schwarzenbach. He comes to Puerto Rico for the season. 23 years old, 1.96 m. Although it is a gamble, hardly an American center leaves anything to be desired. Always potent and blocking. Butler is in the VNL for his national team. He comes from the very strong Italian volleyball, where he played last season for Fenera Chieri. She is also awarded, 24 years old, 1.94 m. Certainly in the middle of the net, Osasco will be very strong with the two Americans.
Sesc Flamengo: confirmed the renewals of Canadian setter Brie King, who is in the VNL for her national team, the fantastic setter awarded as the best position last season, is 1.83 m and 25 years old. The American winger, also on Kiraly's list for the VNL, was the best winger and best matchmaker in the last Superliga. It tends to go up a lot because it is already adapted. She is 26 years old and 1.80 m.
Unilife Maringá: is bringing the Japanese setter, very awarded in Asia, Tamaki Matsui, 1.71 m, 25 years old. Very talented, but short. The Colombian libero, Juliana Toro, arrives from Romania. She is 1.60 m, 28 years old. Finally,
Taubaté Volleyball, the next Superliga's hunt. He hired setter Angie Velásquez, who was from Sorocaba. He is 23 years old and 1.71 m. I confess that I don't know her well enough, but she has played in Portugal and Romania, respectively.
Tomorrow will be the day to comment on which foreigner can arrive.

Let's see that foreigners can still appear in Brazilian Serie A clubs, in the 2023/2024 season.
Praia Clube: the Bulgarian Dobriana Rabadzhieva, spiker, super awarded, including as the best reception of the last Turkish championship, 1.90m and 32 years old. Another pointer, Russian, Sofya Kuznetsova. She is 23 years old, 1.84 m and was in Italian volleyball.
Pinheiros: the Venezuelan winger Nelmaira Valdez, who played for Minas last season, without much space with Negro. He measures 1.81 m and is 31 years old.
Fluminense: Claire Félix, central, 1.98m, 28 years old, best blocker in French volleyball last season.
Gerdau Minas: can bring the American duo, Jenna Gray (setter) and Annie Mitchem (spiker). The first is 25 years old, 1.86 m; the second 29 years old, 1.92 m. Two bets.
Sesc Flamengo: although he denies it, Bernardinho's team could bring a foreign opposite, whose name is unknown, or the central Canadian, playing in the VNL, Emily Maglio. She was in Turkey three years ago, she is 26 years old and 1.89m tall. Plays easy as a starter.

Meanwhile, Sesc Flamengo finds its opposite, Kimberly ex-Fluminense. And the Laranjeiras club hires Lara's replacement, while she recovers from knee surgery. Camilla Paracatu.

Let's start looking at the squads by squad. The vacancies that still remain, who is quoted for them.

We start with Barueri Volleyball Clu, former club of the coach of the Brazilian national team, José Roberto Guimarães. In his place, will be his own selection assistant, Wagner Luiz Coppine Fernandes (Wagão). Who are confirmed?
Opposites - Jheovana Emanuelle, Gabriela Carneiro and Camila Mesquita.
Pointer - Rebeca Viana.
Central - Lívia Santos, Luzia Nezzo and Larissa Besen.
Libero - Paulina Souza.
Highlights: Jheovana and Luzia.
There are still vacancies in the cast of setter (two), outside spiker (three), central (one) and libero (one).
Who can be hired?
Aline Segato, Talia Costa and Vittória Kuehne (pointers), and Juliana Palhano (central).
Opinion: Barueri doesn't usually bring foreign players, which doesn't mean it doesn't. However, it is the club's tradition to launch base athletes and hire very young players. The technician will continue the work of Zé Roberto, along the same lines. It will fight, a priori, for a playoff spot only. The secret will be the setters. Few experienced, still available.

Today is the day to talk about Blumenau's partial cast. First of all, a confirmation of now. The spiker Maiara Barcelos, former Fluminense player is officially Osasco.
Blumenau, who moved up from Série B, must fight to remain in Série A. At the moment, only three players have been confirmed. All three very experienced in the Superliga: Arianne Tolentino (opposite), 33 years old, 1.80m; Edna Schlindwein (Central), 39 years old, 1.87m, and Natasha Farinea (Central), 37 years old, 1.87m. Arianne was already on the Brazilian national team and is a scoring opponent. The three will help Blumenau a lot, however, they are no longer in the best moment of their career. It will depend on the players who come to help them. The coach is Rogério Portela, who has coached Brasília Vôlei.
Two players are speculated and must be announced by the club. The experienced setter Ana Cristina Porto, ex-Sesc Flamengo, 1.73 m, 40 years old, and the pointer, also an experienced pointer, Mari Cassemiro, who was in Italy. She is 1.84 m and 36 years old.
It is still little for Blumenau to aspire to something in the very strong Superliga 2023/2024.

Now, I'll start with the rumors and confirmations.
No confirmation: Geovanna Rodrigues (outer), 20 years old, 1.80m, is leaving the relegated Abel Moda (Brusque) to join Blumenau, also from Santa Catarina. It's a gamble. Despite being young, he played in Seperliga A last season, being part of a team that lost all 22 matches in the qualifying phase.
Confirmed:
Bauru closed the squad, with 16 players. Strong cast, by the way. I will comment another day. It is the first club to fully define the squad and coaching staff. It shows a lot of seriousness and desire to win something big. Starting with defending last season's São Paulo title. And who are the two? Both, ex-Flumiense: the great Gabi Cândido (passing spike), 27 years old, 1.81m, and the very experienced Larissa Gongra (central), 1.88m, 31 years old.
The other confirmation is the opposite Lorenne Teixeira - Brazilian national team in the VNL - who will leave Russia and join the Osasco squad. Tremendous hiring. It replaces Polish Smarzek. Lorenne is 27 years old and 1.87 m.
Osasco isn't kidding either. The São Paulo championship will be a good preview of who has an empty bottle to sell this season.

Partial montage of the cast of the friendly Brasília Vôlei.
To begin with, former coach Duda, who took over at Pinheiros, will be replaced by Ãngelo Vencesi, who made a career in men's volleyball and was in Turkey last season. Heavy bet.
For now, Brasilia has confirmed half of the squad, seven players.
Setter: the good and experienced Ju Carrijo, 1.77m, 31 years old.
Opposite: Amanda Marques, 23 years old, 1.82 m.
Tip: the very good Ana Medina, 23 years old, 1.82m.
Central: Lia Mariano, 23 years old and 1.85 m; Lana Gomes, 23 years old, 1.87 m.
Liberos: Vitória Lage, 28 years old, 1.68m, and the promising Sophia Dantas, 19 years old, 1.75m.
Most of them were last season.
Six players are already worded, missing only the official announcement.
Setter Mikella Costa, formerly of São Caetano; the opposite Laiza Ferreira, ex-Maringá; the pointers Nayara Felix, also ex-São Caetano; the excellent Sabrina Groth, ex-Bauru, and Vitória Parise, ex-Pinheiros.
Brasilia every season fights for a place in the play offs. I believe it will continue to be like this, but this time with greater chances, with Barueri and Maringá.

Today is the day of the current Superliga champion, Praia Clube, coach Paulo Coco, assistant to José Roberto Guimarães in the Brazilian national team.
Strictly speaking, five players are official, although the cast has other confirmations.
Setters: the great Claudinha, 35 years old, 181m, best setter in the 2021 South American club competition, and the bet Milla Camurça, ex-Bradesco, 1.75m, 31 years old.
Opposite: Tai Santos, national team player, 23 years old, 1.90 m.
Pointer: Kasiely Clemente, best pointer in the South American club of 2021, 1.82m, 29 years old.
Libero: the award-winning, former Brazilian national team, Suelen Pinto, 35 years old, 1.66m.
Still to be made official, we will have in Praia:
1. Setter for the Brazilian national team at VNL Naiane Rios, ex-Pinheiros, 28 years old, 1.80 m.
Opposite - Monique Pavão, ex-Sesc Flamengo, 36 years old, 1.78 m.
Pointers: Bulgarian Dobriana Rabadzhieva, who was playing in Russia, 31 years old, 1.90m; Pri Souza, ex-Minas, 35 years old, 1.84m, and Russian star Sofya Kuznetsova, who was in Italy, 1.84m, 23 years old.
Central: the multi-awarded, former Brazilian national team, former Osasco, Adenízia Silva, 36 years old, 1.85m; Gabriela Martins, ex-Pinheiros, 1.84 m, 27 years old; Lorena Viezel, Brazilian team in the VNL, former Sesi Bauru, 1.90m, 23 years old, and Milka Marcília, who was playing in France, 1.90m, 28 years old.
Libero: Brazilian team in the VNL, the extraordinary Natinha, ex-Osasco, 26 years old, 1.62m.
Impossible not to quote Praia as a candidate for all titles in the season. Confirming this stellar cast, the difficulty will be to mix the team quickly. Paulo Coco is a master at doing this. However, particularly last season, the cast was more homogeneous and stronger, in my view.

Negotiations: initially unconfirmed. Camila Leite is leaving São Caetano for Campinas (a team that will play in the Superliga Series C, whose owner is Tandara Caixeta). She is central.
Confirmadíssimas: Lorenne Teixeira, opposite of the Brazilian team, leaves Russian volleyball and hits with Osasco. This will be her second spell at the club. The first was from 2017 to 2019.
Finally, finally, the Russian spiker Sofya Kuznetsova was made official by Praia.

Pines List.
Although it is practically closed, Pinheiros still hasn't officially signed most of the contracted players. Reinaldo Bacilieri is no longer the team's coach. For his place, comes the former coach of Brasilia, Duda Nunes. It's the first one that still needs to be made official, but that's right.
Who is already official: the experienced spiker Sonaly Cidrao, 30 years old, 1.83m. He also comes from Brasilia; center Mara Leão, 1.90m, 31 years old, and libero Érica Motta Lima (Kika), 27 years old, 1.66m. The last two remain from last season.
Not yet official, but contracted:
Setters - Amanda Sehn, ex-Fluminense; Istefani Cosme, ex-Sesi Bauru, and Jaqueline Moreno, ex-Minas.
Opposite - Bruna Moraes, ex-Fluminense.
Ponteira - Nelmaira Valdez, from Venezuela, ex-Minas.
Central - Emily Santos, ex-ABEL MODA (Brusque) and Lays Freits, ex-Fluminense.
This cast has an alternative design, however, young and promising. Duda Nunes is a good coach and the São Paulo championship will be a good challenge for us to know where Pinheiros can arrive in the season. There are vacancies for five athletes, still. A priori, Pinheiros is fighting for a place in the playoffs with Brasília, Barueri and Maringá.

Sao Caetano.
Traditional women's volleyball team from ABC Paulista, was relegated last season, but remains after the two clubs that would rise from Série B: Bradesco and Taubaté.
The coach will continue to be William Carvalho.
There are 16 athletes confirmed. The cast is formed. Once again, the challenge must be to stay in Série A.
Setters: Laisa Rosa, ex-Sesi Bauru, 20 years old, 1.70m, and Duda Rudgeri, 1.70m, 21 years old.
Opposites: Malu Eloi, ex-Sesi Bauru, 20 years old, 1.84 m, and Letícia Cruz, 20 years old, 1.80 m.
Tips: Giovanna Oliveira, 18 years old, 1.74 m; Alessandr Santos, Neneca, coming from Cypriot volleyball, 35 years old, 1.78m; Lohayne Endres, 24 years old, 1.80 m; Eduarda Amaral, Duda, from Portugal, 19 years old, 1.80m, and Sandra Soares, ex-Fluminense, 1.74m, 19 years old.
Central: Giulia Magiari, ex-Osasco, 1.90 m, 24 years old; Yasmin Brasil, 21 years old, 1.84 m; Dara Hendges, 20 years old, 1.86 m, and Camila Braga, 19 years old.
Liberos: Bianca Carlone, 1.70 m, 19 years old; Ju Sanmartin, ex-Barueri, 24 years old, 1.63 m, and Júlia Reis, 18 years old.

Fluminense Football Club:
Within the club, expectations are huge for the 2023/2024 season. The traditional Clube das Laranjeiras wants to return to the role of volleyball. For this, he is assembling a well-qualified squad. The coach continues to be the studious Guilerme Schmitz, who commands the Brazilian under 19 team.
Setter: the award-winning Juma Silva remains, who is on José Roberto Guimarães' list at VNL. She is 30 years old and is 1.81 m.
Tips: Pietra Jukoski, multifunctional and talented, stays one more year. He is 25 years old and is 1.85 m; Stephany Morete, Brazilian under 20 team. She is 19 years old, 1.80 m tall; Paula Mohr - Paulinha- ​​ex-Pinheiros, returns to the club. He is 29 years old and is 1.88 m; Elina Rodriguez (Argentina). Another year at Fluminense. He became an idol of the fans due to his claw. She is 1.89 m, 26 years old, and Aleksandra Uzelac (Serbia). Revelation of Serbian volleyball, makes an excellent VNL. He is 18 years old, 1.88 m.
Central: idol of the club, captain, Brazilian national team, Lara Nobre. 34 years old, 1.85 m. He is recovering from surgery on the cruciate ligaments in his right knee. Should return to the team only in the Superliga playoffs, and Dani Sebt. 23 years old and 1.88 m.
Liberos: both from the Brazilian base team. Stefanie Tarraga (Teté), 21 years old, 1.71 m, and Letícia Moura (Lelê). 20 years old, 1.61 m.
There are players already signed, but still to be announced by the club.
Setter: Pri Heldes. Multi-champion for Minas, her former club. 31 years old, 1.78 m.
Opposite: Ariane Pinto, ex-Praia, champion of the last super league. 26 years old, 1.91 m.
Pointer: Vanessa Janke, also champion of the super league with Praia. 1.84 m, 32 years old.
Central: Camila Monteiro (Paracatu). 35 years old, 1.85 m, and Claire Félix (United States). 28 years old, 1.98 m.
Cast to fight yes. Lots of excellent blockers. It's going to give Fluminense something to talk about.

Today is the day of the always favorite in Brazil Gerdau Minas, who still hasn't confirmed - although he has forwarded - any setter.
Let's see who is already official...
Opposite: Continues Kisy Nascimento, super awarded, Brazilian team, highlighted in VNL. He is 23 years old, 1.91m tall.
Tips: Initially, Yonkaira Peña (Dominican Republic). No presentations. Star of his national team, VNL, standout, award-winning, ball-turner, team security. Need more? He's 30 years old, 1.90m tall, plus one selectable and VNL; Pri Daroit. It also dispenses presentations. Another highlight, another star of the team. He is 34 years old, 1.84 m.
Central: if on the wings and in the opposite position there is too much talent and stars, in the middle of the net the situation intensifies. For starters, Carol Gataz, ultra experienced and award-winning, national team player, Olympics and multi-champion. 41 years old, 1.91 m; Thaisa Menezes. Another national team, VNL, standout, star, award-winning, cream blocker, ball-turner, "Mom is on", whatever you want... And, two-time Olympic champion. Only that. Experienced, he is 36 years old, 1.96 m; the future, of the Brazilian team, including. Júlia Kudies, 20 years old, 1.92 m, and Rebeca Camile, 19 years old, 1.98 m. It will be his first Superliga season.
Libero: Another star of the Brazilian team. Nyeme Costa, 24 years old, 1.75 m. Crack.
The coach, always him, the Italian Nicola Negro.
Who still needs to be made official.
Setters: Francine Tomazoni (Fran), 31 years old, 1.81m, and the award-winning North American Jenna Gray, who was in French volleyball. He is 25 years old, 1.86 m.
Tip: another American, it's a bet. I was in Türkiye without much hype. This is Annie Mitchem. He is 29 years old and 1.92 m.
There are still three vacancies to close the cast. Opponent, libero and pointer. Probably, base players should be included by Nicola. Just in case, Minas is favorite for everything.

Today is Osasco Volleyball Club day. Multi-champion team, revealing important players. The cast is formed.
Technician: the endless Luizomar de Moura
Lifters: Giovana Gasparini, 1.75m, 28 years old, and Kenya Malaquias, 22 years old, 1.85m. Both remain from last season.
Opposites: Tiffany Abreu, 38 years old, 1.92m, and Lorenne Teixeiras, Brazilian VNL team, former Russian volleyball player, 1.87m, 27 years old.
Pointers: Maira Cipriano, former Polish volleyball player, 28 years old, 1.85m; Gabrielle Eduarda Marcondes (Duda), 23 years old, 1.87 m; Mayara Barcelos, former Fluminense player, 22 years old, 1.81 m; Glayce Vasconcelos, 25 years old, 1.87 m, and Amanda Danielli, ex-Pinheiros, 30 years old, 1.78 m.
Central: Fabiana Claudinho, multi-champion, multi-award winning, two-time Olympic champion, 38 years old, 1.94 m; Brionne Butler, American VNL national team, former Italian volleyball player, 24 years old, 194m; Callie Schwarzenbach, American, comes from Puerto Rico, 23 years old, 1.96m, and Geovana Freitas, ex-Blumenau, 1.88m, 23 years old.
Liberos: Silvana Papini, 35 years old, 1.78m, and the extraordinary, multi-champion, Olympic champion, highly awarded, Camila Brait, who returns from a sabbatical season, where she got pregnant and took care of her baby. She is 1.70 m, 34 years old.
Will Osasco seriously compete for the Superliga title? I think so. But for me, pointers are missing. For a long time now, Luizomar has been controversial in setting up Osasco's rosters. This cast will be strong yes, but for the budget, it could be more.

Officialized:
Three players were made official today, all setters. Two at Praia Clube and one at Brasília.
Mikaella Costa left São Caetano and goes to the Federal District. She is 26 years old and 1.78 m.
In the Minas Gerais team, who will join Claudinha are: Naiane Rios, ex-Pinheiros, award-winning, who is in the group of the Brazilian selection in the VNL. She is 28 years old and 1.80 m. The other setter that arrives at Praia is Milla Camurça, ex-Bradesco, 31 years old, 1.75 m.
With the arrival of the two, Praia now needs to officialize seven players. Brasília, on the other hand, still has six vacancies to complete the squad.

Today is the day of Bernardinho's team, the most successful coach in the history of volleyball: Sesc Flamengo.
The Gávea team bets on teamwork, made very few changes. And because of that, it will already be stronger.
Setters: Rosely Nogueira (Rose), ex-Pinheiros, 22 years old, 1.75 m, and Canadian, VNL athlete, today, in my opinion, among the best setters in the world, arrives for the reserve. This is Brie King. 1.83 m, 25 years old.
Opposites: Kimberly Gomes, ex-Fluminense, 23 years old, 1.90m, and Sabrina Machado, 27 years old, 1.83m, arrive.
Tips: Michelle Pavão, called up in the group of the Brazilian national team in the VNL. 36 years old, 1.78 m; Gabriella Souza (Gabiru), 29 years old, 1.75 m; Helena Wenk, 1.99m, 18 years old, and the American, awarded, summoned by Kiraly to the VNL, Veronica Jones Perry (Roni), 26 years old, 1.80m.

Lorena and Adenízia, naturally starters. Midfielder at Praia very strong. They are natural blockers.

One more confirmation: the winger Vitória Parise, ex-Pinheiros, 21 years old, 1.79m, is officially a Brasília player.
Now, the new coach's team - Ângelo Vercesi - has five spots to fill: one opposite, two wingers and two central.

Liberos: Juliana Perdigão, ex-Praia Clube, 32 years old, 1.61m, and the charismatic, champion of almost everything, former Brazilian national team, Léia Silva, 38 years old, 1.68m.
Bauru will be a very strong candidate for everything. vast, strong and experienced roster.

Transfer confirmations:
1. The opposite Monique Pavão, ex-Flamengo, sister of Michele Pavão, is confirmed at Praia Clube. She is 36 years old, and is 1.78 m.
2. Natinha, libero of the Brazilian national team in the VNL, leaves Osasco and goes to Praia Clube. What a hire! Wow! She is 1.62 m, 26 years old.
Now Praia still has two vacancies for pointers. One must be foreign, precisely Bulgarian.

Unilife Maringá, coach Aldori Gaudêncio Júnior.
Setters: Bia Martins, ex-São Carlos, 27 years old, 1.80m, and the awarded Japanese, from the Asian selection in the VNL, Tamaki Matsui, 25 years old, 1.71m.
Pointers: Natália Danielski, 23 years old, 1.81m, and Karol Tormena, 27 years old, 1.87m.
Central: Jussara Silva, 27 years old, 1.84 m; Nandyala Gama, 29 years old, 1.88m, and Fran Jacintho, 29 years old, 1.90m.
Liberos: Anielly Fernandes, 18 years old and Colombian Juliana Toro, 28 years old, 1.60m.
Aldori preferred to continue the good work of last season, where he fought for a place in the play offs until the end, even debuting in Serie A. He kept most of the squad and the harmony will be a reinforcement for Maringá. The Japanese setter, experienced and talented, although short, Matsui, will add a lot to the team. But, in principle, it is a dark horse.
Although there are five vacancies for the cast to close, only one is speculated, yet.
Daniela Cechetto, opposite, former Bradesco and youth team. She is 22 years old and 1.88 m.

I want, from now on, to present all the crests of the 12 Suerliga teams.
The first, Barueri Volleyball Club.
The team exists since 1989, it was called, at the beginning of Grêmio Recreativo Barueri, municipality of Greater São Paulo, state of São Paulo.

Three signings confirmed. All already foreseen, although I like to say when the club makes it official.
Two from Praia Clube, one from Brasília.
1. Coming from Russian volleyball, the experienced and multi-awarded Russian, passing spiker, Dobriana Rabadzhieva. 1.90 m, 32 years old2. Another pointer for the club from Uberlândia, ex-Minas, a rival from Minas Gerais. It is about Pri Souza, 1.84, 35 years old.
3. Sabrina Groth, excellent winger, ex-Bauru, now from Brasília, 23 years old, 1.83m.
With that, Brasilia still needs to confirm four players: one opposite (Laíza Ferreira); a winger (Nayara Félix), and two centrals (Kelly Gomes and Milena Souza).
Praia has the full squad now.

Today we are going to get to know a little about Bluvolei, from Blumenau, Santa Catarina, which emerged in 1990. The project was interrupted at the end of 1996 and returned in 2000. It rose to series A, being runner-up in series B last season. There is the challenge of remaining in order to assemble a stronger team. The coach is Rogério Portela.

As I mentioned before, Mayara Félix, former winger for São Caetano, 1.75m, 32 years old, is confirmed for Brasília. Now, the Candango club just needs to announce two centrals and one opposite to complete the cast.

Today the badge of Brasília Vôlei, which is based in Taguatinga, Federal District.
It was born in 2006, as a social project of inclusion through sport, but only in 2013, 10 years ago, did it assemble a professional team. So it's relatively new.

Two confirmations at two clubs.
One from Brasília Vôlei, another from Bluvôlei (Blumenau).
Let's go to the first: the young spiker, Geovana Rodrigues, 20 years old, 1.80m, left the relegated Abel Moda Vôlei (Brusque) and is confirmed in Blumenau. The two teams are from the state of Santa Catarina.
The second confirmation is a surprise, to say the least> Milena Souza, formerly of Vinhedo Country Club, was hired by Brasilía. She is 21 years old and 1.89 m.
Now Blumenau has three vacancies to complete the squad: a setter, a center and a libero.
Brasília, on the other hand, still needs two players to have the complete squad: one opposite and one central.

Today we have the Praia Clube.
The Minas Gerais club of Uberlândia was born in 1934. From 1989 onwards, volleyball became a regular activity, but it was only in 2008 that it started to compete in the super league. From then on, it became one of the main women's volleyball clubs in Brazil, piling up titles. He is the current champion of the Superliga. Altogether, it has 19 titles, among championships from Minas Gerais; National League; Superalloy; Brazilian Super Cup, and South Americans, in 15 years of adult volleyball.

Another three signings are confirmed for the 2023/2024 season. One for Brasília and two for Fluminense.
The young Central Kelly Gomes left Pinheiros and went to Brasília. She is 1.90m tall and 21 years old.
Brasilia, therefore, only needs to confirm an opposite to close the squad.
Fluminense, on the other hand, officially announced two athletes, who have Superliga titles. The first is setter Pri Heldes, ex-Minas, champion of the Copa Brasil last season. Experienced, she will be the pair of setters on the Rio de Janeiro team, along with Juma. He is 31 years old and is 1.78 m.
The second confirmation is the opposite Ariane Pinto, former Praia Clube (current Brazilian champion). At 1.91 m, she is 26 years old.
Fluminense still needs to confirm a center and an opposite to complete the cast.

Today is the day of Esporte Clube Pinheiros, from the city of São Paulo, state of the same name. Multi-sports club, which competes in championships in numerous sports, whether male or female.
In women's volleyball, the very traditional Pinheiros is the only club to play every season in the Superliga, since 1994.
Although it has titles in its collection, Pinheiros has never been Brazilian champion. Among the titles, five São Paulo Cups stand out; six São Paulo championships; a Copa Brasil, and a South American championship.

Vanessa Janke is the last signing made official by FLUMINENSE. The winger, formerly of Praia Clube, was champion of the Suoerliga last season, along with Ariane, who was also signed, by the team from Minas Gerais. She is 1.84 m and 32 years old. the last athlete to join the squad will be chosen by the team's technical commission, which will come from the base: it will be a central one.

Confirmed: the opposite Laiza Ferreira, former Unilife Maringá, will defend Brasília in the 2023/2024 season. At 1.81m, and 27 years old, the strong Laiza exceeds three meters to put the ball on the ground.
Now, coach Ãngelo Vercesi's team has completed the squad for next season.

Today is the day to learn a little more about Energis 8 São Caetano, originally São Caetano Esporte Clube.
Founded in 1914, it is very traditional in Brazilian women's volleyball.
The club from ABC Paulista also has a list of big titles, although the main fame is to reveal players.
He was champion of São Paulo once; also won the National League once; the Superliga, and the South American championship.
Its current coach is William Carvalho, a former setter for the Brazilian national team in the runner-up world (1962) and Olympic (1984) championships.

Fluminense brings the third setter from Pinheiros. This is Carol Donatiello, who is from the Brazilian under 21 team. She is 19 years old and 1.77m tall.

Today we have Fluminense Football Club. The club that introduced volleyball in Brazil, in 1923 - a century ago - and the first to have women practicing court sports in the country, a decade later.
No Superliga club has more tradition than the Rio de Janeiro team, led by current coach Guilherme Schmitz (Brazil under 19 team).
Despite this, he is not the one who won the most national titles, although he was the first, in 1976.
His titles in the modality are sizes: 27 carioca championships; two Superligas, and six South Americans.

Today is the day of the most successful multi-sport club in Brazil: Minas Tênis Clube, or in women's volleyball, Gardau Minas.
Club from the capital of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, was founded in 1935.
Women's volleyball was soon created as well, following the trend of Fluminense, in Rio de Janeiro. However, since the 1970s, both for men and women, Minas has been synonymous with competitive volleyball, although it is also the same in other sports.
Its conquests are: eight Minas Gerais championships; a metropolitan Superliga (Belo Horizonte); three Brazil Cups, five National Super Leagues, and four South Americans.

Today is the day to show Osasco's shield.
Not Osasco, Osasco Volleyball Club. Also, very winning Brazilian women's volleyball club.
Founded in 1993 in São Paulo, Guarujá, it moved to Osasco in 1996. BCN was born and when it moved, it was called BCN/Osasco. Throughout this period, the São Paulo team also changed its shield.
He managed, in a short time, to pile up expressive titles. 18 São Paulo championships; three Brazil Cups; five Super Leagues; four South Americans, and one club world cup (2012/2013). He also won some other international tournaments. Without a doubt, it is a very successful case in Brazilian volleyball and one of the main women's clubs in Brazil, always putting together very strong teams.

Today, we have Sesc-RJ/Flamengo. Headquartered in the capital of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro.
First of all, we have to point out one important thing. Flamengo is a traditional club in Brazil. The volleyball team is not purely Flamengo. This team has already been, even from another city - Curitiba - when it was called Paraná Vôlei Clube. It is a project, led by the greatest volleyball coach in history, Bernardo Resende.
It has already been called: Rexona AdesS, Unilever, Rexona - SESC and SESC-RJ. In the 2020/2021 season, Bernardinho took the project to Flamengo, making both parties partners. One therefore inherited the titles of the other.
And they are not few: three Brazilian Super Cups; 19 carioca championships; four Brazil Cups; 12 Superligas, and four South Americans.

Another signing confirmed for the 2023/2024 Superliga.
All right, the official announcement was expected. But Unilife Maringá seemed undecided.
Daniela Cechetto, ex-Bradesco, is the new opponent of the team from Paraná. She is 22 years old and 1.88 m.
There are still three confirmations left: another opposite and two pointers for coach Aldori Gaudêncio Junior's squad to be complete.

Another confirmation from Unilife Maringá.
The great spiker Mariana Brambilla leaves French volleyball and is made official by the club from Paraná. She can play, even opposite. The award-winning player, although still young, is quite experienced and made an international career. She is 1.83 m and 23 years old.

Two signings were confirmed yesterday. None are major players. They are one-off hires to compose the squad. Behold:
1. Júlia Koehler, midfielder, former Abel Moda/Brusque, will defend Blumenau. She is 1.87m tall and 24 years old.
With that, the club from Santa Catarina ends the hiring cycle, with 16 players for the 2023/2024 season. In fact, Blumenau has already made the official presentation of the cast.
2. Maria Clara Carvalhaes, ex-Fluminense, is the new Barueri setter. The young woman is 19 years old and is 1.75 m.
The São Paulo club still has five vacancies to be filled: three outsiders, one central and one libero.

Today is the day to talk about Sesi Bauru, or Associação Vôlei Bauru, a team from the west of the state of São Paulo.
It was created in 2005 and since then it has not stopped growing, winning titles and putting together very strong teams.
The coach for the 2023/2024 season will be Marcos Miranda, from men's volleyball.
Bauru, despite its short lifespan, has already won several titles. We highlight Superliga B, in 2014/2015; a São Paulo Cup; a Brazilian Superglue; two championships in São Paulo, and a Copa Brasil.

Two more signings made official. Both, by Pinheiros, have already been commented on.
Bruna Moraes, opposite, and Amanda Sehn, setter, ex-Fluminense, both are official.
The first is 23 years old and 1.92 m; the second has a birthday on Monday, the 16th, completing 25 years. Amkanda is 1.80 m tall.
Now Pinheiros still has to present two wingers, two centrals and a libero to complete the squad commanded by Duda, which will also need to be made official.

Two confirmations today for the SuperLiga.
1. libero Ana Luíza Bento, 19 years old, 1.67 m, ex-Itajaí Vôlei, is from Barueri.
The team from São Paulo now needs to confirm three wingers and a center to complete the squad.
2. The setter, Bia Martins, ex-São Carlos, 27 years old, 1.80 m, will defend Maringá.
The team from Paraná now needs a winger and an opposite one.
