Goalkeeper Rafael William, a 24-year-old who is a product of Coritiba's youth academy, has been announced as a new player for Azuriz for the 2026 season. The move is a loan, marking the fourth consecutive year the player has been loaned out to seek more playing time due to a lack of opportunities at Coritiba, where the goalkeeping lineup includes starter Pedro Morisco, immediate reserve Pedro Rangel, third option Benassi, and the recently re-signed Gabriel Leite. William joins Azuriz as the club prepares to compete in the Campeonato Paranaense, Copa do Brasil, and Série D. His recent experience includes a loan at Maringá in 2025, where he made 11 appearances, and a previous loan at Sampaio Corrêa.
