World Cup: Jorginho joins ‘side’ during Flamengo’s break | OneFootball

Flamengo will have a break in the schedule because of the World Cup

Flamengo is preparing for its final commitments before the World Cup break. Despite not taking the field in the tournament, Jorginho will not be able to “rest” during the period. That is because the Flamengo midfielder was announced as the newest addition to GE TV and SporTV for the tournament broadcasts.

— What’s up, everyone? Jorginho here. The World Cup is coming, and I’m joining the GE TV and SporTV team to follow everything with you. Thanks, big hug —, said the Flamengo midfielder in a video posted on social media.

Does Flamengo have a player guaranteed at the World Cup?

Yes! During an interview on the last FIFA international break, on March 30, Carlo Ancelotti announced that Danilo will be on the final Brazil squad list for the 2026 World Cup.

In addition, six other Flamengo players were included on Brazil’s preliminary list. They are: Alex Sandro, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Lucas Paquetá, Pedro and Samuel Lino. Thus, the players are now awaiting Carlo Ancelotti’s final call-up.

When is Brazil’s final squad announcement?

It is worth noting that Brazil’s official World Cup squad announcement will take place on May 18. Then, coach Carlo Ancelotti will begin preparing the squad on the 25th of the same month, while the trip to the United States will be on June 1.

Will Jorginho not be at the World Cup?

Although he was born in Brazil, Jorginho became an Italian citizen. Italy, however, failed to qualify for the World Cup, having been eliminated by Bosnia in the European playoff. As a result, the Flamengo midfielder will not take the field in the world tournament.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Jorginho available, Flamengo is focused on the Copa do Brasil. This Thursday (14), the Rubro-Negro faces Vitória again at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Barradão, for the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Vitória through YouTube, the website and social media. However, SporTV (cable TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Copa do Brasil match.
