Santos Enters Mid-Season Break Amid Super Mundial Pause
Hey everyone, just wanted to bring you up to speed with what’s going on with Santos FC right now. After securing a solid win over Fortaleza in the 12th round of the Brasileirão at Castelão, the team has officially entered their mid-season break. The reason? A pause in the national calendar to accommodate the much-anticipated Super Mundial — and yeah, this has created a ripple effect across Brazilian football.
So, here’s the deal: the players from Santos, both the main men's squad and the women’s team, are off duty. The men are officially on vacation from June 13 to June 26, with a return date set for June 27. This break isn’t just a time to relax — the players received a physical training manual to maintain fitness during this downtime. According to coach Cleber Xavier, the goal is to keep the players active even while they’re away, ensuring they stay sharp for what’s next.

And what’s next is big — Santos is gearing up for a critical clash against Palmeiras. The date is still being finalized by the CBF, but it’s likely to fall somewhere between July 12 and 14 at Vila Belmiro. That gives the team around two weeks post-break to ramp up physical and tactical training.
Now, if you’re wondering why the vacation seems oddly timed, it’s all about adapting to the new calendar caused by the Super Mundial. Since the Brasileirão is expected to wrap up on December 21 this year, clubs had to rethink how and when to give players their mandatory 30 days of paid leave. So, Santos — like many others — opted to split it: 14 days now and the remainder in December, after the season ends. It's a smart move, balancing player welfare with season demands.
Meanwhile, the youth teams — from Sub-11 to Sub-14 — are still active, with several matches scheduled. And the Sereias da Vila, the women’s team, are also enjoying a brief rest after their last game against Vasco.
It’s an unusual season, no doubt, but Santos seems to be managing it well. The break gives the team a breather while still keeping them focused on the long game — literally. The fans are surely hoping this planned pause gives Peixe the boost it needs to come back even stronger for the second half of the season.
