Carlo Ancelotti has already defined the 26 names who will play in the 2026 World Cup for the Brazilian National Team. The coach decided to take Danilo, Alex Sandro, Lucas Paquetá and Léo Pereira to the tournament.
It is worth noting that Samuel Lino, Léo Ortiz and Pedro were on the Brazilian National Team’s preliminary list for the World Cup. However, the Flamengo players were not chosen by Ancelotti to be among the final 26 names.
The Brazilian National Team is the top seed in World Cup Group C. Therefore, Brazil will face Morocco, Scotland and Haiti in the group stage. Their opener will be against the Moroccans on June 13.
No! Only Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro and Lucas Paquetá will be available for Flamengo in the match against Palmeiras. That is because Danilo received a red card against Athletico-PR and will have to serve a suspension.
Flamengo's match against Palmeiras is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. (Brasília time) this Saturday (23), for the 17th round of the Brazilian Championship. Therefore, the game will be broadcast by Premiere on pay-per-view and by SporTV on closed TV.
