Flamengo hope for Jorge Carrascal boost at the World Cup | OneFootball

The Colombian National Team called up Jorge Carrascal for the 2026 World Cup

Flamengo had nine players called up for the 2026 World Cup, and Jorge Carrascal was one of them. As a result, Fla hopes that his performances at the tournament with the Colombian National Team will increase the midfielder’s market value for a deal in the next transfer window.

In short, Flamengo is planning to sell Jorge Carrascal, and the World Cup is a great opportunity for the Colombian to raise his value. At Fla, the midfielder has not delivered many standout performances yet and is currently going through a rough patch amid a string of red cards.

Is Carrascal already with Colombia?

Yes! In fact, Carrascal started in Colombia’s 3-1 friendly win over Costa Rica last Monday (01). On that occasion, the Flamengo midfielder was involved in one of the goals, even though he played only 45 minutes. The match took place at El Campín Stadium in Bogotá.

Colombia opened the scoring just 17 minutes into the friendly. Carrascal even looked like he would take the corner, but it was forward Luis Díaz who delivered it. The ball found center-back Davinson Sánchez, who rose completely unmarked to open the scoring.

Then, in the 23rd minute, Carrascal was directly involved in a goal. Colombia pressed the opposition build-up, Costa Rica’s defense failed to clear properly, and the ball ricocheted off the Flamengo player. The ball then fell kindly to Luis Díaz, who calmly doubled the lead for Colombia.

Which clubs are monitoring Carrascal?

Before the World Cup began, two teams showed interest in signing Jorge Carrascal in the next transfer window. In short, Krasnodar (RUS) and Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR) made inquiries to the player’s representatives, who remain in talks with the Eastern European clubs.

When does Colombia make its World Cup debut?

Finally, Jorge Carrascal’s Colombia side will make its World Cup debut on June 17 against Uzbekistan at 11 p.m. (Brasília time), at Mexico City Stadium. Colombia is in Group K, which also includes Portugal and Congo.
