As the teams are starting to form for this league I thought we should have a thread to discuss it. women.volleybox.net/women-brazilian-superliga-2020-21-o11087The top 5 teams from the previous season are really the only teams that I will be listing since they are all capable of winning the league. Also I am not sure how this league will hold up since COVID is currently ravaging the country. This league also expanded the foreigner limit to 2 or 3 so there are a fair few more international players than in years past. This will surely strengthen the league and the teams that will participate in the Club World Championships. I still need to clarify the actual foreigner limit in the league which I aim to do soon.

The Brazilian NT is in a constant state of flux with members retiring and returning. So I decided not to give any misinformation and am lumping them all together.
Once we get a chance to view, or if anyone knows who attended, Brazil's NT training roster either from 2020 or when the 2021 International season comes around I will update the *'s.

On paper Itambe/Minas looks like the team to beat.

The rest of the teams likely won't be a factor nor did I recognize many of their domestic players. There are still a few teams with out any named players.
One thing worth noting is that Ze Roberto is still the coach of São Paulo/Barueri. It looks like he has taken on all of the youth that is newly eligible to play in the Superliga. It's like Club Italia Crai in the Italian League. This will pay dividends in coming years when they will matriculate onto the Brazilian National Team.
The league will have 12 teams. Brasilia Vôlei has returned and Flamengo merged with Sesc-Rio de Janeiro. Valinhos appears to have been relegated.

On paper Itambe/Minas looks like the team to beat. I think Dentil/Praia Clube also beefed up some. The team will likely live and die on Anne Buijs' passing though. I am happy she and Ana Carolina are back together on the same team. They are my favorite volleyball couple 🥰😊

Sheilla obviously has the experience but is approaching 40 and is definitely in decline. Then you have Cuttino who is raw and young and maturing quickly. She will learn a lot from Sheilla.
