Kati, from Corinthians, strengthens the team, while Bruninha, associated with Gotham in the USA, reinforces the team’s defensive and offensive capacity.
The midfielders are a mixture of talents from various clubs. Ary Borges (Racing Louisville), Luana, Duda Sampaio (Corinthians). Angelina (O.L. Reign), Ana Vitória (PSG), Brena (Santos).
