Goalkeeper Lorena Named to Brazil National Team’s Final Roster of 2026

KANSAS CITY (Nov. 11, 2026) — Kansas City Current goalkeeper Lorena has been named to the 26-player roster for the Brazilian National Team’s final fixtures of 2026. Brazil will face Japan in a pair of friendlies on Nov. 29 and Dec. 5, both of which will be played in Japan. 

The Nov. 29 match will be played at Edion Peace Wing in Hiroshima, and the Dec. 5 match will be played at JFR Harenokuni Stadium in Okayama. Japan, who currently sits at No. 5 in the most recent FIFA/Coca Cola Women’s World Ranking, last faced Brazil in a pair of friendlies in May/June 2025. 

A mainstay on the Brazilian National Team, Lorena has been called up five times for her home country in 2026. She also received an invitation for the February/March, April, June and October international windows, plus was called up for all six camps Brazil held in 2025. Last month, Lorena made four saves while playing in all but five minutes of second-half stoppage time as Brazil earned a 3-1 friendly victory over Argentina on Oct. 10.  

Last summer, Lorena helped guide Brazil to its fifth consecutive – and ninth overall – Copa América title. Her game-winning save in the penalty kick shootout against Colombia clinched the championship. She also had a penalty kick save in a friendly with Japan in May 2025. After making her senior team debut in 2021, Lorena missed the 2023 FIFA World Cup due to injury but returned to play every minute for Brazil during the 2024 Olympic Games. She kept a clean sheet in three of six matches in the tournament en route to the silver medal.
