The Brazil national team squad for the friendlies against Australia and India during the next FIFA international window will be announced at CBF headquarters in Rio de Janeiro next Wednesday, September 9, at 3 p.m. Brasília time. The event will be broadcast live on CBF TV.

On the occasion, head coach Carlo Ancelotti will reveal the 26 players who will make up the group beginning the journey toward the 2030 World Cup. The first challenge will come in September, during the so-called Super FIFA window, with three international matches. There will be another FIFA window in November 2026.

This will be the Seleção’s first squad announcement since its participation in the last World Cup. Brazil will have two matches against Australia. On September 25, at 7 a.m. Brasília time (8 p.m. local time), Brazil will face the Australians at Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville. Then, on the 29th, also at 7 a.m. Brasília time (8 p.m. local time), they will meet the hosts again, this time at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.

After facing Australia, the national team will play its first-ever match against India. This unprecedented meeting will take place on October 3 at 11 a.m. Brasília time (7:30 p.m. local time) at Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.

NOTE ON THE FRIENDLIES

To define the squad list, coach Carlo Ancelotti, his coaching staff, and the other professionals in the Men’s National Teams Department have been monitoring matches in the Brazilian Championship, Copa do Brasil, Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana, and European competitions.

At the same time, Ancelotti has been working to strengthen the integration between the senior national team and the youth teams, a process that began upon his arrival and is now taking place with greater intensity, also with an eye on those teams’ commitments, such as the FIFA U-17 World Cup in November in Qatar, and the building of a foundation for the next Olympic cycle, a task in the hands of Paulo Victor, who also coaches the Brazil U-20 team.
