CBF opens Mato Grosso do Sul football development centre

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has opened a Football Development Center in Mato Grosso do Sul, located in Campo Grande. This marks the first facility of its kind in the Central-West region of Brazil. CBF President Samir Xaud and Mato Grosso do Sul Football Federation (FFMS) President Estevão Petrállas attended the opening ceremony, which was also attended by local authorities, CBF officials, four-time world champions Branco and Ronaldão, and heads of State Federations.

Xaud highlighted the center's potential to transform football in Mato Grosso do Sul, while Petrállas emphasized the importance of the Development Centers as "citizenship" tools for the youth of each state. This is the eighth Football Development Center opened during Xaud's administration, with others already operational in other states across Brazil.
