India vs Brazil takes place this Saturday (03), in Kolkata

The FIFA Super Window is coming to an end. This Saturday (03), the Brazil National Team takes the field at 11 a.m. (Brasília time) to face India in its third friendly since the World Cup. The match, which will be held at Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata, will be broadcast on free-to-air channel Rede Globo.

In addition to the free-to-air TV broadcast, the first-ever clash between Brazil and India will also be shown on SportTV, a subscription channel, and GeTV on YouTube. Finally, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details before, during, and after the Brazil National Team friendly through its social media, website, and YouTube channel.

THIRD AND FINAL FRIENDLY IN THE FIFA SUPER WINDOW

The match against India will be Brazil’s third after the 2026 World Cup, and the last one in this FIFA window break. The team coached by Carlo Ancelotti is coming off two straight matches against Australia in the Oceanian country: the first ended in a 1-1 draw, and the second was a 4-2 win.

WHICH FLAMENGO PLAYERS ARE AVAILABLE TO ANCELOTTI?

In total, two Flamengo players are available to coach Carlo Ancelotti: Pedro and Samuel Lino. The pair of red-and-black players are also looking for more minutes in this FIFA window.

In Brazil’s two friendlies against Australia, the Flamengo players started on the bench. While Pedro played 26 minutes in the first match, Samuel Lino took the field in both games, playing 26 and 7 minutes, respectively.

For this Saturday’s friendly (03), Ancelotti admitted he still has doubts regarding the lineup. As a result, only Coritiba goalkeeper Pedro Morisco has been confirmed as a starter.

AN UNIMPORTANT FRIENDLY?

Although he sees the match against India as an opportunity to evaluate players, Ancelotti explained that he does not view the clash as just any friendly.

— For us, for Brazil’s national team, it will never be a friendly. It will be an important match to improve, especially because we are at the start of the new cycle of players —, the coach said at a press conference.

FIFA SUPER WINDOW?

The FIFA Super Window was created to merge the former September and October windows into a single extended 16-day period. As a result, the club match calendar will be paused from September 21 to October 6.
