The Brazil women's national rugby sevens team has appeared in the Olympics, the Rugby World Cup, the Women's Sevens Series, and other competitions. Brazil has won every regional championship in South America. Their team nickname "Yara" was coined in 2013, and comes from the local Tupí-Guaraní mythology. It was meant to signify the courage and collective strength of women’s rugby in Brazil and also to connect them with their country’s roots.[1]
They qualified for the Tokyo Olympics after defeating Colombia in the finals of the 2019 Sudamérica Rugby Women's Sevens Olympic Qualifying Tournament.[2] Brazil and Colombia qualified for the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens in South Africa.[3]
