Flamengo World Cup call-ups join up with the Brazil squad | OneFootball

Brazil National Team has a friendly this Sunday (31), against Panama at the Maracanã

Flamengo beat Cusco (PER) 3-0 last Tuesday (26), in the sixth and final round of the Libertadores. Right after the match, the Most Beloved announced that it had released the called-up players to report to their respective national teams.

Thus, early on the morning of this Wednesday (27), the players who will represent Brazil at the World Cup reported to the Brazil National Team. The first to arrive at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis, were Danilo and Léo Pereira.

After that, Alex Sandro and Lucas Paquetá joined the Brazil squad. It is worth noting that Carlo Ancelotti called up the four Flamengo players to represent the Brazil National Team. In addition, young goalkeeper Léo Nanetti was invited to take part in training.

Did Flamengo have other players called up?

Yes! In fact, Flamengo released Arrascaeta to report to the Uruguay National Team last week. The idea was for the rubro-negro No. 10 to continue treatment after collarbone surgery, already focusing on the World Cup together with La Celeste.

Besides him, Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielsa also called up Guillermo Varela and De La Cruz for the 2026 World Cup. Finally, Ecuador requested the presence of Gonzalo Plata, while Colombia called up Jorge Carrascal.

That means all the players have already been released by Flamengo, which will have ten absences next Saturday (30). Over the weekend, the Most Beloved faces Coritiba in the 18th round of the Brasileirão, in the last match before the break for the World Cup.

However, before focusing on the World Cup opener, the Brazil National Team has a friendly scheduled for Sunday (31). On that occasion, Brazil will face Panama at the Maracanã. The match kicks off at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), with live broadcast on Rede Globo on free-to-air TV.
