The International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) has announced the 2022 South American Team of the Year and Agustina, announced by Mengão last week, is among the eleven chosen. A standout for Argentina in the campaign that earned the country the Copa América bronze medal, the athlete was chosen for her high-level performances and excellent numbers.

The sixth confirmed signing, the defender received the news shortly after returning from Pinheiral, where she reported to the club and began training with the group. Selected for the continent's all-star team for the first time in her career, Agus confessed she was surprised and made a point of expressing her joy.

"I'm very happy. To be honest, I didn't expect to be in CONMEBOL's best eleven; it was a huge surprise. This motivates me to keep working and improving. When I saw my name there, I concluded that I had some great moments last year. Now, I have to stay focused on having an excellent season with Flamengo," he declared. 

With the defender available, Mais Querido returns to activities on the morning of next Tuesday (24), at CEFAN, aiming to compete in the Super Cup.
