Palmeiras reveal plans during World Cup break | OneFootball

In their farewell to the Brazilian Championship before the break for the World Cup, Palmeiras defeated bottom-side Chapecoense 1-0 on Sunday afternoon (31), in the 18th round of the national tournament. Paulinho scored Palmeiras’ goal.

Palmeiras’ planning

To keep preparing during the break in the schedule, the Palmeiras squad will return to in-person training at the Football Academy on the evening of June 21.

The only exception is forward Vitor Roque, who will follow a specific recovery schedule after surgery on his left ankle. During the final stage of the recess, the other players will carry out remote activities designed by the Health and Performance Department, with the aim of maintaining their fitness and ensuring a gradual return to in-person training.

What now?

Palmeiras ends the first part of the Brazilian Championship with 41 points from 18 matches, compared to Flamengo’s 34, though Flamengo has a game in hand. As a result, Abel Ferreira’s team has already secured first place at the end of the first half of the season.

Now, Brazilian football will be paused until July 22 because of the 2026 World Cup, held from June 11 to July 19 in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Verdão’s first match after the break will be against Coritiba, in the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship — the match that marks the end of the first half of the season. The tentative dates for the clash are July 22/23. In the second half of the year, in addition to the Brasileirão, the green-and-white side will also compete in the Copa Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil.
