Three Flamengo players are expected to start for Brazil in their World Cup opener

After a long wait, the 2026 World Cup has finally begun. Meanwhile, the Brazil National Team will make its debut this Saturday (13), when it faces Morocco. For Brazil’s first match, Carlo Ancelotti has outlined a lineup with three Flamengo players among the starters.

In short, according to the probable lineup first reported by ESPN, Danilo, Alex Sandro and Lucas Paquetá are expected to start in the Brazil vs. Morocco match. However, Carlo Ancelotti still has to finalize the team that will open the World Cup campaign with the Brazil National Team.

What is Brazil’s probable lineup?

Alisson; Danilo, Gabriel Magalhães, Marquinhos and Alex Sandro; Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães and Lucas Paquetá; Raphinha, Vini Jr. and Matheus Cunha.

Does the Brazil National Team have any absences?

Despite being called up, Neymar will not be available for Brazil in the match against Morocco. That is because the No. 10 was called up while recovering from a calf injury. As a result, Carlo Ancelotti selected the forward knowing that he would probably not play in the first two group-stage matches.

Who is broadcasting Brazil vs. Morocco?

In short, Rede Globo will broadcast the Brazil National Team’s World Cup debut, with commentary by Everaldo Marques. Other options to watch Brazil vs. Morocco are: SBT (free-to-air TV), SporTV (subscription channel), as well as GE TV and CazéTV (both on YouTube).

Finally, Brazil’s debut at the 2026 World Cup will be against Morocco this Saturday (13), starting at 7 p.m. Brasília time at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, United States. The Brazil National Team is in Group C, which also includes Haiti and Scotland.
