After winning a fourth consecutive Copa America, Brazil are hopeful they have found the right balance between experience, emerging talent and natural flair to deliver a first Women's World Cup trophy.

That key element of experience prompted the long-awaited return to the squad of 37-year-old Marta, the team's record scorer, who will be playing in her sixth World Cup after spending just over a year on the sidelines due to injury.
Defender Tamires and midfielders Andressa Alves and Debinha also bring strong leadership and technical excellence to the squad, which will be key in Sundhage's flexible strategy.
