Konichiwa, everyone!

The Brazilian National Team faces Japan on the morning of this Tuesday (14th), in another friendly match as preparation for the 2026 World Cup.

The game kicks off at 7:30 a.m. (Brasília time), at the Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo, with broadcast on TV Globo and geTV.

Brazil will have eight changes in the lineup compared to the 5-0 against South Korea – the only ones remaining in the starting team are Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães, and Vini Jr.

Ancelotti also changed the tactical formation, switching from 4-2-4 to 4-3-3.

Brazil: Souza, Paulo Henrique, Bruno, Beraldo, Carlos Augusto, Casemiro, Guimarães, Paquetá, Luiz Henrique, Vini Jr, and Martinelli.

Japan: Suzuki, Taniguchi, Watanabe, Sano, Minamino, Doan, Nakamura, Kamada, Ueda, Kubo, and Suzuki.

The Seleção arrives on a high after the 5-0 thrashing of South Korea last Friday.

The Asians, who are ranked 19th in the FIFA rankings and are already qualified for the World Cup, come from a 2-2 draw with Paraguay.

After this FIFA date, the Seleção returns to the field in November, with friendlies against Senegal and Tunisia.

In March 2026, a match against France is scheduled, along with another European rival – Croatia and the Netherlands are possibilities.

CBF is also considering another friendly in June, on the eve of the World Cup debut, to close out the pre-World Cup cycle.
