The Brazilian women’s volleyball team is definitely a great team to watch, both aesthetically and because they’re quite good at the actual sport. Thus far, the Brazilians have done phenomenally well and their spectators have definitely rewarded them with phenomenal attendance and media coverage. Sadly the women’s team won’t compete against the United States until the elimination rounds, but you can be that it will be an amazing game to watch.
The players themselves are somewhat of celebrities in Brazil, a country that admittedly loves the sport a lot more than we do here in the USA. Additionally, more than a few amount of them (like Thaisa Menezes and Jaqueline Carvalho) have modeled for various magazines.
Check out their hottest photos in the gallery below.
