The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) announced on September 26 that it will expand its grassroots football specialist training program. In partnership with CONMEBOL in 2026, the project will conduct 20 free training events across 14 Brazilian states. These events will provide specialized training and technical support to professionals from diverse sectors including professional clubs, youth academies, amateur teams, and social football programs, enabling more grassroots football practitioners to access systematic professional knowledge and training resources.

According to reports, the CBF and CONMEBOL collaboration project will take place across 14 Brazilian states in 2026.

Through the "CONMEBOL Evolution Program," CBF is expanding its specialist training initiatives in partnership with CONMEBOL in 2026. This year, the program will host 20 training events across 14 Brazilian states, providing football professionals nationwide with specialized training and updated technical knowledge. Four events have already been held in each of Paraná, Alagoas, Amapá, and the Federal District.

Now in its second year, the project has more than doubled its training activities compared to 2025. In the first year, nine training sessions were conducted across seven states, covering youth development, strength and conditioning, and futsal.

In 2026, the program's national reach will expand further, and the number of training specializations will increase from three to five, with goalkeeper training and women's football being included in the program for the first time.

Each training session typically attracts 30 to 40 participants, with CBF covering meals and training materials for all participants during each module.

Matheus Senna, CBF's Head of Development and Projects, said: "To advance Brazilian football, it is essential to share high-level knowledge across every state in the country. This training program will therefore be delivered by the CBF Development and Projects department, traveling to state football federations that request courses, and will be conducted in collaboration with the CONMEBOL Evolution Program. Our goal is to ensure that football professionals in different regions of Brazil can access the same methods and standards used throughout South American football without having to leave their states."

He added: "When we strengthen the professional competencies of people working daily in clubs and youth academies, the impact extends far beyond the training ground itself. This knowledge remains in the region and continues to be promoted and applied season after season, contributing to a stronger football system across Brazil."

These training activities are organized by the CBF's Development and Projects department in collaboration with state football federations, aiming to provide football professionals from diverse regions of Brazil with a deeper understanding of current content and methodologies being adopted in Brazilian football. Each session typically includes 30 to 40 participants, with local state football federations responsible for selecting attendees.

Training is completely free and includes theoretical and practical instruction delivered by experienced professionals in the football field. During the training period, CBF provides participants with meals, training materials, and uniforms.

Training participants come from various sectors of football development, including professional clubs, youth academies, amateur teams, and social football programs.

From Southern to Northern Brazil

The initial training locations in 2026 have already demonstrated broad geographic reach. The project began on August 14-16 in Curitiba, with the first training session focusing on strength and conditioning, led by Rodrigo Rezende and Israel Teodoro.

Later, Maceió hosted the program's first goalkeeper training session of the year. The event took place at CSA's training facility and featured instructors Rafael Chiarello, a former Santos player, and Lucas Maurício, the Red Bull Bragantino U-20 goalkeeper coach.

Maceió became the first state capital in the Northeast region to host this training.

The Alagoas training combined theoretical and practical courses related to the learning process and specialized goalkeeper instruction, covering topics including goalkeepers' tactical responsibilities, goal protection, spatial awareness, and involvement in offensive play.

In early September, youth development training was held in Brasília. The event took place at the Real Brasília training center and featured instructors Wilton Santana and Paulo César de Oliveira.

The seminar held in Macapá focused on concepts related to specialized football strength and conditioning.

The most recent training session ran from September 15-17 in Macapá. Three days of strength and conditioning training were conducted at the Amapá Football Development Center (CDFA), a facility that is part of the 2014 World Cup legacy. The session was again led by Rodrigo Rezende and Israel Teodoro.

The Macapá training combined theory and practice, covering various aspects including training principles, player assessment, physical capacities, match demands, small-sided games, periodization, load management, recovery, and return to sport. Participants completed relevant training exercises and attended seminars that integrated the theoretical concepts presented with the real-world situations they face in their daily football work.
