Breno Bidon, of Corinthians, looks to Diniz's Brazil protégé | OneFootball

The Brazilian National Team faces Australia again this Tuesday, the 29th, in the second friendly of this FIFA international window. Corinthians midfielder Breno Bidon is experiencing his first call-up with Brazil. The player could be in the starting lineup this Tuesday under Carlo Ancelotti.

“The feeling couldn’t be better. I’m fulfilling a childhood dream. I never imagined I could be living this moment so soon. And I believe I’m going to make the most of everything I can here. It’s a huge experience, so I believe this moment will be very important for me. May it be the first of many,” Breno Bidon told CBF TV.

Before being called up to Brazil’s senior national team, Breno Bidon came through the youth ranks. He won the 2025 South American U-20 Championship. In the tournament held in Venezuela, he started all nine matches, scored one goal, and was a key player in the title-winning campaign alongside Rayan, Jair, and Arthur Dias, who now share the senior team environment with him.

“That title and that tournament were very important because it was a very special moment. My first title with the Brazilian National Team, even if it was with the U-20s, was very special, because we prepared a lot for that moment. We started the tournament a little poorly, but then our unity and desire to win changed everything. We managed, thank God, to become champions, and seeing that this generation is making its way up to the senior national team is really cool,” said Breno Bidon.

Breno Bidon draws inspiration from Bruno Guimarães

Until the friendly against India, the last match of this call-up, on Saturday the 3rd, the São Paulo native will be able to train and play alongside Bruno Guimarães, a fellow midfielder who inspires him. Bidon praised his teammate’s mentality and career path.

“From the current generation, Bruno Guimarães is a guy I follow a lot. He had a very good World Cup and managed to stand out. He’s a guy who has already experienced a lot in football. He started early in Brazil and is someone I really look up to (…). From what I’ve seen while being around him, he has a very good, winning mentality. And on the pitch, I don’t even need to say anything—he’s been playing really well,” Breno Bidon said.

Brazil faces Australia this Tuesday at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane at 7 a.m. Brasília time. On Saturday the 3rd, the Brazilian National Team will face India at Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium (known as Salt Lake) in Kolkata at 11 a.m. (Brasília time).
