The Brazilian National Team takes the field this Saturday (06), when it faces Egypt. The friendly marks the final commitment for Carlo Ancelotti’s team before the 2026 World Cup.
On the eve of the match, Ancelotti outlined the starting lineup. Therefore, Brazil is expected to take the field with: Alisson, Wesley, Marquinhos, Léo Pereira and Douglas Santos; Casemiro and Bruno Guimarães; Lucas Paquetá, Igor Thiago, Vini Júnior and Raphinha.
In total, Brazil has four Flamengo players available. They are: Paquetá, Léo Pereira, Danilo and Alex Sandro. However, only the first two mentioned are expected to start. The others will begin the friendly as options on the bench.
The friendly between Brazil and Egypt will be broadcast by Rede Globo (free-to-air TV), SporTV (pay TV channel) and GETV (YouTube). In addition, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will keep fans very well informed about the match featuring the rubro-negro players through YouTube, social media and the website.
More than just a match that wraps up the pre-World Cup friendlies, the meeting with Egypt will serve as a ‘testing ground’ for Carlo Ancelotti. That is because the coach will use the clash at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland to assess the individual performances of players and fine-tune the tactical setup ahead of the World Cup.
