Which Flamengo players will play in the World Cup for the Brazil national team?

Carlo Ancelotti has already defined the 26 names who will play in the 2026 World Cup for the Brazil national team. The coach decided to take Danilo, Alex Sandro, Lucas Paquetá and Léo Pereira to the tournament.

It is worth noting that Samuel Lino, Léo Ortiz and Pedro were on the Brazil national team’s preliminary list for the World Cup. However, the Flamengo players were not chosen by Ancelotti to be among the 26 names.

What is Brazil’s group in the World Cup?

The Brazil national team is the top seed in World Cup Group C. Therefore, Brazil will face Morocco, Scotland and Haiti in the group stage. Their opener will be against the Moroccans on June 13.

Will the four Flamengo players be available for the match against Palmeiras?

No! Only Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro and Lucas Paquetá will be available to Flamengo for the match against Palmeiras. That is because Danilo received a red card against Athletico-PR and will have to serve a suspension.

Flamengo’s match against Palmeiras is scheduled for 9 pm (Brasília time) this Saturday (23), in the 17th round of the Brazilian Championship. Therefore, the match will be broadcast on Premiere, via pay-per-view, and on SporTV, on closed TV.
