Brazil call up continental champion duo for FIFAe Nations League 2026 | OneFootball

The Brazilian eFootball Console National Team has been called up for the first week of the 2026 FIFAe Nations League Regional Qualifiers. Brazil will be represented by the duo JVictorPRO and HenrykinhO, coached by Thiago Avaré. Brazil is in Group A alongside Chile, Colombia, and Paraguay, facing them on April 15 for a place in the quarterfinals, which will be played the following day.

The road to global glory begins with the battle for continental spots. Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Paraguay (Group A), along with Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, and Venezuela (Group B), begin competing for the six places in the Continental, the stage before the Finals, which will be played at the end of the year.

For this stage, the Brazilian eSeleção will once again have the duo that won the Continental tournament in 2025, made up of JVictorPro and HenrykinhO, under the guidance of coach Thiago Avaré, who recently reached the milestone of 100 matches in charge of the Yellow Jersey of e-Sports. Futefacil, who partnered with HenrykinhO in friendlies against France and Croatia, will be the eSeleção’s substitute.

For the coach, starting this stage with a well-synced duo is the first step in defending Brazil’s dominance in South America. “It’s a duo that knows each other very well, and what definitely weighed in favor of their return was their defensive solidity, which is a factor I consider most important at the start of this work, not to mention both players’ attacking talent,” said the coach.

Back with the National Team for official competitions, player JVictorPRO is already feeling the excitement of representing the most iconic jersey in e-Sports. “I’m excited about this return. I spent some time a little away, but I came back very confident to play with Henrique, and also understanding new mechanics with the new duo, which is Futefacil. It’s a very, very strong National Team. This year we have three extremely high-level players. Training is in full swing. I’m grateful for the guidance of our coach Thiago Avaré, who has been sharing great ideas. The expectation couldn’t be better as we look to show who the biggest force in America is,” he said.

For HenrykinhO, the return of the partnership with JVictorPRO happened naturally, with the players quickly recovering the chemistry they built last season. “I’m very excited to play in a competition for our National Team again, and even more special is playing with João. We started training together again last week and it feels like we never stopped. We understand each other very well on and off the game, and it will be a pleasure to play with him again,” he said.
