New cycle: Palmeiras players set off eyeing the 2030 World Cup | OneFootball

The 2026 World Cup came to an end with Spain winning the title over Flaco López’s Argentina, but for part of Palmeiras’ squad, the end of the tournament also marks the beginning of a new journey. With the Brazilian Championship resuming against Coritiba this Wednesday (22) at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Couto Pereira, some players will take the field with an eye on the next Brazilian national team cycle.

While seven Verdão players took part in the World Cup representing their national teams, other names ended the international season with the feeling that they had come close to being called up. Now, the focus shifts to 2030.

Selectable names

One of the main cases is Andreas Pereira. Called up to the Brazilian national team shortly after arriving at Palmeiras, the midfielder remained on the radar for much of the 2026 cycle but was ultimately left out of the final squad. In good form at the club, he is beginning a new journey in search of turning his leading role into new opportunities under Carlo Ancelotti.

Vitor Roque is also looking to regain ground. The striker saw injuries at the start of the season interrupt his run just during the decisive phase of the World Cup cycle. Now recovered and once again available to Abel Ferreira, the number nine is trying to get back into rhythm to return to the Brazilian coaching staff’s radar.

In addition to them, Palmeiras has players who could emerge as new names over the next four years.

In goal, Carlos Miguel appears as one of the candidates to be part of the renewal of the position in the Brazilian national team. With international experience and strong performances since arriving at Verdão, the goalkeeper is trying to earn space in a generation that is expected to go through changes after the World Cup.

Out wide, Allan is enjoying one of the best spells of his career. The forward has gained continuity under Abel Ferreira and is emerging as an option for an attacking sector looking for new sources of pace and depth.

Meanwhile, Arthur could find an opportunity given the current instability at Brazil’s left-back position. Established at Palmeiras and constantly improving, the defender hopes to take advantage of the new cycle to definitively enter the race for a spot in the national team.

With four years to go until the 2030 World Cup, consistency, performances in major competitions, and titles once again become decisive.
