The Brazilian Rugby Union (Brasil Rugby) has officially named a 32-player squad for the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 — the country’s first-ever appearance at a 15-a-side Rugby World Cup. The announcement took place at Pacaembu Stadium in São Paulo, ahead of Brazil’s participation in Pool D, where they will face South Africa, France, and Italy.
Led by head coach Emiliano Caffera, the squad features a core group of players with Olympic experience in rugby sevens, including three-time Olympians Luiza Campos and Raquel Kochhann, the latter of whom was Brazil’s flag bearer at the Paris 2024 Games.
The Yaras depart for England on August 14. Their campaign begins on August 24 against South Africa in Northampton, followed by matches against France (August 31) and Italy (September 7).
