Camila didn’t get much sleep the night before Brazil was set to announce its roster for the 2019 Women’s World Cup.
She didn’t know if she’d get a chance to represent her country in France. Camila, who has made 10 appearances for Brazil’s women’s national team, wasn’t included on Brazil’s last two rosters and, heading into the Cup announcement, wasn’t getting the playing time she wanted with the Orlando Pride.
When the roster was announce and Camila knew for sure she was part of the 23-player roster, there was some shock.
“I felt good,” Camila told Pro Soccer USA through a translator.
