Corinthians could have a quartet among those called up

The presence of André and Matheuzinho raises to four the number of Corinthians players on Carlo Ancelotti’s coaching staff’s radar.

At 21, Breno Bidon is looking for a first-ever opportunity with the senior team. The midfielder has already represented Brazil at youth level, including during the title-winning campaign at the 2025 South American U-20 Championship, but has not yet been given a chance with the senior national team. Hugo Souza, meanwhile, has been on the Brazilian coaching staff’s radar for some time and is trying to regain his place in this new Seleção cycle.

André and Matheuzinho complete the list of Timão players on Ancelotti’s preliminary list. If all four are chosen, Corinthians will have a significant presence in the national team’s first call-up after the World Cup.

Brazil will face Australia and India

The Brazil national team will get back together for the first time since its 2-1 elimination by Norway in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup. The first destination will be Australia. Brazil and Australia will face each other twice, on September 25 and 29, at 7 a.m. (Brasília time), at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium.

After the two matches, the squad will travel to India. On October 3, at 11 a.m., Carlo Ancelotti’s team will face the hosts at Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.

Breno Bidon, Hugo Souza, André and Matheuzinho will find out this Wednesday whether they will remain on the final list and represent Corinthians during this first stretch of Brazil national team fixtures after the World Cup.
