Flamengo had players called up by Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, and Ecuador

Flamengo has the strongest squad in South American football, and that is reflected in the call-ups for the 2026 World Cup. The Rubro-Negro squad has eight players called up for the tournament by Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, and Ecuador.

This Sunday (31), Uruguay announced its final squad for the World Cup with Varela, Arrascaeta, De La Cruz, and Matías Viña. The latter is on loan to River Plate (ARG) until the end of the season, but he is still under contract with Flamengo.

In addition, the Brazil national team includes four Flamengo players: Danilo, Alex Sandro, Léo Pereira, and Lucas Paquetá. Meanwhile, Colombia and Ecuador called up Jorge Carrascal and Gonzalo Plata, respectively.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S SITUATION?

With all the names already called up for the World Cup, Flamengo took the field last Saturday (30) and crushed Coritiba at the Maracanã in the Brazilian Championship. The Most Beloved won 3-0, with two goals from Samuel Lino and one from Pedro.

WHAT NOW, FLAMENGO?

Now, Flamengo will take a break from official competitions during the World Cup. As a result, the Rubro-Negro squad will travel to Portugal for a mid-season training camp, with three friendlies scheduled for July.
