March 16 will forever be a memorable day in the career of Léo Pereira. This is because the Flamengo defender received his first call-up to the Brazilian National Team, led by Carlo Ancelotti.
Léo Pereira is one of the highlights of Flamengo in the 2026 season. The defender even scored in the 3-0 victory over Botafogo on Saturday (14), at Nilton Santos, during the sixth round of the Brazilian Championship.
It's worth noting that Carlo Ancelotti was at Nilton Santos last Saturday (14) to watch the Flamengo game against Botafogo. In other words, the Brazilian National Team coach witnessed another great performance by Léo Pereira wearing the Sacred Mantle.
The Brazilian National Team will take the field on March 26 and 31, in friendly matches preparing for the World Cup. Brazil will face France and Croatia, respectively, in the United States.
No! The defender remains available for Flamengo. The player will only report on March 23. Therefore, he will be present at Maracanã against Remo, this Thursday (19), for the seventh round of the Brazilian Championship.
