Brazil face India in Kolkata friendly to close Super Data FIFA | OneFootball

Brazil face India in a friendly at Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on Saturday at 11am Brasília time, the final match of the Super Data FIFA for September and October.

According to Coluna Do Fla, TV Globo will show the game free to air. Luis Roberto leads Globo’s commentary with Júnior and Denílson, SporTV has Luiz Carlos Jr with Eric Faria and Grafite, and GETV features Jorge Iggor with Bruno Formiga and Rodrigo Capita on YouTube.

On the eve of the match, Carlo Ancelotti sketched his XI. Brazil are expected to line up with Pedro Morisco, Matheuzinho, Marquinhos, Arthur Dias, Douglas Santos, Danilo, Bruno Guimarães, Gabriel Bontempo, Estevão, Pedro and Vini Júnior.

Brazil have two Flamengo players available, Pedro and Samuel Lino. Lino will start on the bench.

Pedro is the standout inclusion, having begun Friday’s training in Kolkata among the starters. He is favoured to start in place of Raphinha, who was withdrawn through injury.

To streamline the calendar, the Super Data FIFA combined the usual September and October windows into one 16-day block. Club competitions were paused from 21 September to 6 October.

This meeting with India is Brazil’s third fixture since the 2026 World Cup and closes this international block. Under Ancelotti they arrive after two games against Australia, a 1-1 draw and a 4-2 win.
