Brazil National Team Call-Up Takes Place This Wednesday (09)

Coach Carlo Ancelotti is preparing for the first Brazil National Team call-up after the 2026 World Cup. The announcement of the 26 players will take place this Wednesday (09). Included in the Italian’s preliminary list, two Flamengo players could appear in the final squad: Pedro and Samuel Lino.

According to information from ‘GE’, Pedro and Samuel Lino have a chance of being called up by Ancelotti for the friendlies against Australia and India. At this moment, the Italian wants to prioritize less familiar names and younger players. On the other hand, Léo Pereira and Lucas Paquetá, who were called up for the 2026 World Cup, were left out.

When will the Brazil National Team call-up be announced?

Ancelotti will announce the Brazil National Team squad list at 3 p.m. (Brasília time) this Wednesday (09). The event will take place at the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), in Rio de Janeiro.

The call-up will be broadcast live on CBF TV, on YouTube. In addition, as usual, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about coach Carlo Ancelotti’s squad list through YouTube, the website, and social media.

Brazil begins the road to the 2030 World Cup

The first FIFA window of the cycle for the 2030 World Cup will take place between September 21 and October 6. Therefore, the friendlies mark the beginning of a new preparation process for the Brazil National Team.

On September 25, Brazil will face Australia at Queensland Country Bank Stadium, in Townsville. Then, on the 29th, the Brazil National Team will play Australia again, this time at Suncorp Stadium, in Brisbane. Thus, the first two matches will be against the same opponent, in different cities.

Brazil National Team plays historic match against India

After the two matches against Australia, the Brazil National Team will face India for the first time in history. Therefore, the unprecedented clash will take place on October 3 at Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, also known as Salt Lake Stadium, in the city of Kolkata.

In this way, Brazil is expanding its presence in markets still little explored by the Brazil National Team. As a result, the match against India is expected to draw great attention from the local public. However, Carlo Ancelotti’s focus remains on the team’s competitive performance during this FIFA window.
