Brazil are ready for friendlies against France and Croatia

São Paulo – The Brazilian eNational Team clocked in at CBF headquarters on Monday afternoon and immediately hit the virtual pitch, opening preparations for a demanding pair of friendlies against France and Croatia. The matches will be contested on both eFootball (Mobile and Console) and EA FC platforms, with kick-offs set for 25 March at 13:00 local time against Les Bleus and 30 March at 17:00 against the Croatians.

While the French encounter will feature bouts on eFootball Console and EA FC, the Croatian clash adds eFootball Mobile to the slate. In keeping with this season’s FIFAe Series regulations, the mobile segment will be played in tandem, requiring seamless coordination between teammates.

PHzin, a two-time world champion and anchor of the Seleção squad, underlined the unique challenge awaiting the side. “Representing the Brazilian National Team in any friendly or competition is always special. It will be a different experience; we are not used to playing with such a distance. These will be two complicated games that require our attention. The French team is strong, experienced, and one of the best in the world.”

Head coach Thiago Avaré echoed his star player’s caution while expressing confidence in the group’s readiness. “We are ready, the team is prepared. We have a new pair in eFootball Console, but they already know each other and have chemistry. They played the eBrasileirão last year for Flamengo and also in other competitions. We had to refine some things, bring our style of play to achieve the result we expect, which is victory in these friendlies. These will be complicated games with differences in actions during the match, as the teams are not in the same location. Whoever adapts better to this variable may have an advantage.”

The squad will train again on Tuesday before traveling virtually to face France. All fixtures will be streamed live on CBF TV and follow a best-of-three format, with the first side to claim two victories declared the winner.
