(football) training camp

"(...) comrades also challenged the 'concentração', which is part of Brazilian footballing culture that is perhaps the greatest affront to players' liberties. The word means 'concentração' in the military sense, of 'bringing together troops'. It is usual for Brazilian clubs to insist that before every match --- no matter how important --- the team must sleep in a hotel, often for several days at a time."
Example sentence:

"(...)que já é o grande personagem da Copa, que liberou sexo e vinho na *concentração). ... persona of the World Cup as he allows sex and wine in the *training camp*."

agree coolbrowne : Absolutely! Of course, for the US, that would have to be "soccer", since they play "football" with their hands.

>sequestered means that the team is completely isolated.

If it is about a Brazilian Soccer team (Futebol) then it is the case of being "completely isolated".. the players are always complaining about it and trying to escape - to go out on the town etc.
Note from asker:
Thanks! I am not a soccer/football fan :) but I suppose that sequestered means that the team is completely isolated. This is not the case in the text I'm translating.
