In addition to the U-14 title, Rede Ball brought other benefits to the club's youth academy. Kadu Borges, the academy's technical coordinator, highlighted Mais Querido's expanding network of contacts to bring new talent from the Northeast to Gávea. It's part of the department's strategy to recruit increasingly qualified young talent for the youth academy:

"We know the region is rich in talent. And we know that Bahia and Vitória have a regional talent dominance. We've opened a very interesting door in this talent acquisition process in the Northeast. We've made many contacts, and at least four or five athletes will be brought in for testing. And we have one who has already been approved, born in 2001. We leave with a very positive balance of participation and other added values ​​like this," he said. You can help the club's youth teams by becoming member-fanClick here to join.

The team won the Rede Ball championship despite missing six players, who played for the Brazilian national team in the BH Cup. The situation ended up being a positive one for all the players. 

"The competition was very important for us to give more experience to several players. So six new athletes had their opportunity today and performed very well during the competition. Not only for the title, but in terms of performance analysis, we leave here very satisfied with them," he declared.
