Brazil eSeleção begin the 2026 season against France | OneFootball

This Wednesday (25), the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) will host a historic afternoon. For the first time, two national teams will play an international eSports friendly in parallel with the main football teams, and online. Brazil and France will face off starting at 1 p.m. The matches will be broadcast on CBF TV.

The showdown will feature two titles: eFootball Console and EA FC. In eFootball, the national team will be represented by the duo Henrykinho and Futefacil, who will face the French players Lotfi and Nekza.

“The France team is a benchmark. They have already played in major tournaments and have already been European champions. They are well known and experienced. And these friendlies are important for the Brazilian team. We will gain experience and build chemistry through big matches,” said Henrykinho, who will have debutant Futefacil by his side.

“My first time with the national team. Very good preparation, a dream come true. I’ve already faced France in some tournaments and it will be difficult, but we know the French team’s style of play. Expectations are good and high for these friendlies,” said Bruno Mota, known in the eFootball scene as "Futefacil".

In addition to the eFootball Console friendly, Brazil will face France in EA FC. PHzin will represent the national team against French player Leks.

“A difficult match. Leks is a very good player, known worldwide for his strong performances in major tournaments. We’ve had some matchups before, and it has always been difficult for both sides. It will be a great contest,” said PHzin.

The friendlies will be played in a best-of-three format, with the Brazilian players competing directly from the auditorium at CBF headquarters in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro.
