The Brazilian women's volleyball team is guaranteed at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. This Sunday, Brazil defeated Argentina 3-0, with scores of 26/24, 25/19, and 25/16, and won the South American Championship title at Maracanãzinho. The stadium was packed and the crowd celebrated throughout the match. With the victory, Brazil finished the tournament undefeated and at the top, with 15 points.
Captain Gabi was Brazil's top scorer in the final, with 13 points. Right behind her were outside hitter Julia Bergmann, with 12 points, and opposite Tainara, with 11 points. The three athletes were key figures in the continental title conquest.
The Brazilian national team joins Turkey (Europe), Egypt (Africa), Thailand (Asia), and Canada (North and Central America) among the teams already qualified for the Los Angeles women's volleyball tournament. The South American Championship was Brazil's first Olympic qualifier, and now the team will have more time to prepare.
Brazil's women's volleyball team won bronze medals at the last edition of the Games, in Paris-2024, and now aims to improve on that result in Los Angeles.
