Flamengo call out Brazil before World Cup clash with Morocco | OneFootball

Brazil kicks off its 2026 World Cup campaign against Morocco with four Flamengo players

The most passionate Flamengo fans are already missing Flamengo matches. So, supporters can’t wait to see the called-up players in the World Cup. With that in mind, Fla wished good luck to the four Mengo players who are with Brazil and make their debut this Saturday (13).

“Tomorrow marks the beginning of another chapter in the history of the Brazilian National Team at the World Cup, with four Flamengo players representing the country! Good luck! The Nation is with you!,” Flamengo’s official account posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Who are Flamengo’s four players?

Coach Carlo Ancelotti called up Lucas Paquetá, Léo Pereira, Danilo and Alex Sandro for the World Cup. All four will be available for Brazil against Morocco starting at 7 p.m. Brasília time this Saturday (13). The Group C match will be played at MetLife Stadium in the United States.

Are there any other Flamengo players called up?

In addition to the Brazilian quartet, Mengo also sent Arrascaeta, De La Cruz and Varela to Uruguay. Colombia, meanwhile, took Jorge Carrascal, while Gonzalo Plata is with Ecuador. The Uruguayan No. 10, however, is injured and is expected to miss La Celeste’s first matches.

What has Flamengo done during the World Cup?

The World Cup has brought Brazilian football to a halt. Therefore, the players who were not called up are on break, but they are expected to return to training later this month. That’s because the Rubro-Negro club plans to hold a mid-season training camp.

What is a mid-season training camp?

The idea is to play three friendlies while the World Cup is going on. That way, when Brazilian football returns, the Rubro-Negro club will not be too short of match rhythm. So, Fla plans to face Falkirk (Scotland), Birmingham (England), and Benfica (Portugal) in Portugal.

Where can you watch Brazil vs. Morocco?

Backed by Flamengo’s good vibes, Brazil’s debut at the 2026 World Cup will be broadcast on free-to-air television. That’s because Grupo Globo and SBT will air the match, while SporTV (subscription channel), GE TV (YouTube), and CazéTV (YouTube) will stream it online.
