Brazil squad lands in the United States for the World Cup | OneFootball

Flamengo has four representatives in the Brazil national team at the 2026 World Cup

On the morning of Tuesday (02), the Brazil national team delegation arrived in the United States, where it will compete in the World Cup. It is worth noting that the departure was accompanied by fans, who created a festive atmosphere mainly for Neymar and Vinicius Júnior, a former Flamengo player.

Neymar was the standout upon Brazil’s arrival. The number 10 was ‘accompanied’ by Lucas Paquetá, who came down right behind him. Shortly after, Vinicius Júnior appeared. It is worth highlighting that Brazil’s number 10 will probably be left out of the Brazil national team’s final friendly on Saturday (06).

How was the team’s arrival?

Will the squad be complete?

Yes! After thrashing Panama 6-2 with three players absent, the Brazil national team will finally have its full squad in the United States. That is because center backs Gabriel Magalhães and Marquinhos, along with forward Gabriel Martinelli, traveled directly to the U.S. after the Champions League final, played last Saturday (30), while Brazil was on the field for the friendly.

Which Flamengo players are in the national team?

In short, four Flamengo players are in the Brazil national team squad: Alex Sandro, Danilo, Léo Pereira and Lucas Paquetá. Lastly, Vinicius Júnior and Wesley, both developed by the Rubro-Negro club, will also play in the World Cup with Brazil.

It is worth remembering that goalkeeper Léo Nannetti, from Flamengo, traveled with the Brazil national team delegation for the World Cup. However, the young Flamengo goalkeeper is not expected to take part in official matches, instead serving as support in training and gaining experience alongside the group.

When is Brazil’s next match?

Before turning its full attention to its World Cup debut, the Brazil national team takes the field this Saturday (06). The team coached by Carlo Ancelotti will face Egypt at 7:00 p.m. (Brasília time) in the United States, in its final warm-up friendly for the tournament.

Finally, the Brazil national team will make its World Cup debut on June 13 against Morocco. In the group stage, Brazil will play in the cities of New Jersey/New York, Philadelphia and Miami, with matches at 7:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), against Morocco, Haiti and Scotland.
