CBF scouts to watch Corinthians v Santos as Ancelotti plans Brazil overhaul | OneFootball

Representatives from Brazil’s national team will attend Corinthians v Santos on Sunday, with kick-off at 16:00 at Neo Química Arena in round 25 of the Brasileiro.

CBF staff will also be at Athletico-PR v Fluminense and Flamengo v Botafogo on Sunday. Ancelotti is tracking games in Europe while federation observers cover domestic and continental fixtures.

For Corinthians, goalkeeper Hugo Souza and full-backs Matheus Bidu and Matheuzinho are under assessment for the new cycle. Midfielder Breno Bidon is well regarded but will miss the derby.

In the coming days Ancelotti must send Fifa a long list of about 50 names for September and October friendlies with Australia and India. The deadline is 6 September, with clubs typically informed on 4 September.

The announcement is expected between 8 and 11 September. Brazil assemble in Australia on 21 September, play the Socceroos on 25 in Townsville and 29 in Brisbane, then face India in Kolkata on 3 October.

“I think this World Cup marks the end of a generation of very important players, starting with Neymar, then Danilo, Casemiro and others over 30. We will map new players who can come in, not necessarily for 2030, but to be competitive for the first objective, the 2028 Copa América,” he told ge.globo.
