In recent months, the team has exchanged several young players for major Brazilian clubs such as Santos, São Paulo, Cruzeiro and others. However, it is not always possible to guarantee the completion of these deals, which is why a new partnership was sealed, this time with 2SV Sports, a leading company in sports exchange through football operating in the market since 2005, an exchange of students and young athletes. “Now, with the partnership closed, we can present the company to the athletes’ parents and learn more about how universities work, with some athletes tending to start classes in August,†observes Walter Junior, president of Reference. Today, 186 athletes participated in the under 11, under 12, under 13, under 14, under 15 and under 17 categories.
