Which players with a history at Flamengo were involved in the friendly between Brazil and Australia?

The Brazilian National Team is preparing for the penultimate FIFA international window of 2026, from September 24 to October 6. This Friday (25), Brazil plays its first friendly, against Australia. With that in mind, Coluna do Fla looks back at the last meeting between the teams, which featured five players familiar to Flamengo fans on the field.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LAST MATCH BETWEEN BRAZIL AND AUSTRALIA?

The last match between Brazil and Australia took place on June 13, 2017. In Melbourne, the Brazilian National Team beat the hosts 4-0, with goals from Diego Souza (twice), Thiago Silva, and Taison.

WHICH PLAYERS CONNECTED TO FLAMENGO WERE ON THE FIELD?

Five names well known to Rubro-Negro fans were on the field in that match: Diego Alves, Alex Sandro, Rodrigo Caio, Rafinha, and David Luiz. However, at the time, none of them had joined Flamengo yet. It is worth noting that the goalkeeper was announced by Mengão a month later, in July 2017.

WHAT ARE BRAZIL’S MATCHES IN THIS FIFA WINDOW?

This Friday (25), Brazil faces Australia at Queensland Country Bank Stadium, in Townsville, at 7 a.m. (Brasília time). In addition, the teams will meet again on the 29th, this time at Suncorp Stadium, in Brisbane, at the same time.

After that, the Brazilian National Team will face India for the first time in history. The unprecedented clash will take place on October 3 at Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan. The venue is also known as Salt Lake Stadium, in the city of Kolkata.

WHICH FLAMENGO PLAYERS WERE CALLED UP?

Pedro and Samuel Lino are Flamengo’s only representatives in the Brazilian National Team during this FIFA window. As a result, both forwards have already joined up with the squad and are available to Carlo Ancelotti for the commitments of the ‘Seleção’. The Rubro-Negro duo is therefore trying to make the most of the opportunity to earn more space in the national team.

WILL PEDRO AND SAMUEL LINO MISS FLAMENGO GAMES?

The Brazilian football calendar pauses during the FIFA window. Flamengo, for example, has no matches to play between September 24 and October 6. Therefore, Pedro and Samuel Lino will only be absent from Flamengo training sessions during this period.
