Brazil U-20 faces Paraguay at 7:00 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday (28)

Brazil’s U-20 national team will face Paraguay in two friendly matches. For the first clash, at 7:00 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday (28), Douglas Telles and João Victor, Flamengo’s forward and center back, will be available for the team.

WHAT IS BRAZIL’S LIKELY LINEUP?

João Pedro; Igor Felisberto, Artur Dias, João Souza and Kauã Prates; Lucas, Pedro Ferreira and Erick Belé; Bruninho, Heittor and Luca Meirelles.

WHERE TO WATCH?

The friendly between Brazil and Paraguay will be broadcast by CBF TV, the official YouTube channel of the Brazilian Football Confederation. Kickoff is at Martins Pereira Stadium, in São José dos Campos, São Paulo.

DOUGLAS TELLES AND JOÃO VICTOR AVAILABLE?

Standouts from Flamengo’s U-20 squad, Douglas Telles and João Victor caught the attention of national team coach Paulo Victor Gomes. The duo already has experience with Flamengo’s senior team, which strengthens their call-up for the preparatory friendlies ahead of the 2027 South American U-20 Championship. However, the tendency is for both to start on the bench.

The South American U-20 Championship determines the spots for the U-20 World Cup. Therefore, the friendlies serve as early tests for building the squad and evaluating the performances of the young players.

ANOTHER FRIENDLY AGAINST PARAGUAY?

In addition to this Saturday’s (28) friendly, Brazil will face Paraguay once again on Tuesday (31). With Douglas Telles and João Victor, the ‘Canarinho’ will take on the Paraguayans at Canindé Stadium, in São Paulo, at 4:00 PM (Brasília time).
