Nations' Futsal Teams Compete in the Fourth Edition of the Championship at the American School of Belo Horizonte

From May 18 to 19, the School of the Nations participated in the AASB Final Four at the American School of Belo Horizonte (EABH). The second season of the 2023-24 school year featured volleyball and futsal teams from American and international schools in Brazil. In the futsal category, six schools competed: School of the Nations, American School of Brasília, British School of Rio de Janeiro, American School of São Paulo (Graded), Chapel School, and American School of Curitiba.

This season, Nations' futsal teams were represented by 19 athletes, who participated in intense, challenging matches filled with determination.

First Day

Nations began its journey in the Final Four with a match between the Cougars and Chapel. With a score of 5 to 2, our athletes triumphed in a hard-fought game. Highlights include Aaron Ferraz, Gabriel Amaral, Felipe Suplicy, Santiago Rozas, and João Michels, who scored the winning goals.

Shortly after, our girls faced the American School of Brasília. Despite goals from Manuella Skaf and Maria Eduarda Magalhães, the team fought valiantly but did not secure the victory.

Final Day

On the final day, our girls' team faced Graded School. With three goals from Beatriz Galvão, the team finished the championship in fourth place, showing great determination and spirit. Our athletes inspire us with their sportsmanship and teach us that giving up is not an option.

In the final match, the boys' team took the spotlight with three early goals, with Gabriel Amaral and Felipe Suplicy standing out. With a final score of 5 to 3, our students secured second place in the championship and brought home the silver medal.

We congratulate our athletes and the physical education team for once again reaching the Final Four, giving their all, and demonstrating what it truly means to be a Cougar. Stay tuned, as the season is wrapping up, but next year our Cougars will have more championships and victories on the horizon!
