Brazil coach Will Broderick has named his roster for the opening round of the 2022-2023 World Sevens Series. As Yaras finished in 11th spot last season but were spared relegation due to the ongoing suspension of Russia. They held the same ranking at the World Cup earlier this year.
Nine of the squad were part of the squad for Cape Town. Returning to the lineup is Rafaela Zanellato, who missed the tournament due to injury, and the recalled Thalita Costa, twin sister of Thalia Costa. Uncapped additions are Gisele Gomes and Camilla Carvalho.
As Yaras have been drawn in a challenging Pool B for Dubai along with France, Great Britain, and New Zealand. The two-day tournament begins on December 2.
