Brazil's Marta to Compete in Last Olympics

Brazilian soccer star Marta, the all-time leading goal-scorer, will participate in her sixth Olympics in Paris, marking her retirement from international football later this year. Coach Arthur Elias praised Marta's contributions and leadership, emphasizing the need for a balanced team of experienced and young players for future success. Despite Marta's silver medals in previous Olympics, including two losses to the United States, she aims to showcase her skills once more. With Brazil hosting the 2027 Women's World Cup, Elias is strategically building a competitive squad for upcoming tournaments, including the current Olympic campaign in Group C against teams like Nigeria, Japan, and Spain.
