The story of Bianca Alcantara, just 10 years old, went viral on social networks after an unsuccessful attempt to get the autograph of her soccer idol, Marta, during the passage of the Brazilian National Team in Adelaide.

When she learned that Canarinho would play in the city where she lives, the fan was excited about the opportunity to get the autographs of the players, especially Marta. However, upon arriving at the hotel where the team was staying, the little girl was faced with a crowd of fans at the door, which made it difficult for her to approach the athletes before they entered the venue.

Bianca’s frustration at not getting the players’ autograph was recorded in a video by journalist Aline Nastari of TNT, who shared the event on social networks. Touched by the little fan’s story, the CBF decided to act to make the little girl’s dream come true. The organization organized a special meeting between the young fan and the queen of football, Marta.

On Monday (24), before the debut of the Women’s National Team in the World Cup, she returned to the hotel and finally had the opportunity to meet her idol. But the surprises did not stop there. At the invitation of the CBF, Bianca had the opportunity to watch the match of the Brazilian National Team against Panama up close, witnessing a spectacular victory by the national team, who won 4-0, in addition to fulfilling the dream of seeing her idol, Marta, in action on the field.

The team leaves for Brisbane this Tuesday (25th) and starts preparing for the duel against France. The match will take place on July 29 (Saturday), at 7 am (Brasília time), at Brisbane Stadium, in Brisbane (AUS).
