Only one untouchable? Tell us who deserves a shot in the Seleção 🇧🇷 for 2026 | OneFootball

The Brazilian National Team closed out 2025 with a 56% success rate, only ONE untouchable player, and several doubts.

To give you an idea, out of the total 48 players called up by Ancelotti, ONLY Bruno Guimarães had 100% attendance, playing in all eight matches under the coach.

With less than SEVEN MONTHS to go until the World Cup, OneFootball wants to know: who deserves a chance in 2026? Leave your comment!

In these eight matches with Ancelotti, Brazil had four wins, two draws, and two losses.

Besides Bruno Guimarães, names like Alisson, Marquinhos, Casemiro, Estêvão, Rodrygo, and Vini Jr also appear as regulars for the World Cup.

But there are still several open spots, and the competition promises to be INTENSE.

John, Léo Ortiz, Luciano Juba, Ederson (midfielder from Atalanta), João Gomez, and Antony, for example, were called up but didn’t even get to play.

Do they deserve a chance?

Names like Paulo Henrique, Fabrício Bruno, Caio Henrique, Fabinho, Kaio Jorge, Samuel Lino, and Vitor Roque did play, but still haven’t booked their ticket.

The Brazilian National Team will return to the field in March 2026, in high-level tests against France and Croatia.

The World Cup – in Canada, the United States, and Mexico – will be held from June 11 to July 19.

The group stage draw is scheduled for December 5, a Friday.
