After announcing on Wednesday the list of call-ups for the friendlies against South Korea and Japan in the October Fifa date, the Brazilian National Team is already planning the next commitments in preparation for the 2026 World Cup.
According to the schedule, the team of Carlo Ancelotti will face African teams in the November Fifa date, ending the 2025 calendar. The idea is to play the matches in England and France.
In March 2026, Brazil intends to measure forces with European opponents, in friendlies that will serve as a high-level test on the eve of the world competition.
The definition of the rivals and locations of the matches will still be announced by the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation), but the plan is to give the squad experience against different styles of play.
This October, the Brazilian National Team will play the first friendly on the 10th, against South Korea, at 8am (Brasília time), at the Seoul World Cup Stadium. Then, on the 14th, it will play the last match of the Fifa date against Japan, at 7:30 am.
