The Brazil national team is entering a decisive stage of preparation for the opening match of the World Cup. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti will oversee two key training sessions over the next 48 hours to fine-tune the final tactical details ahead of the clash.

In addition, this Friday (12), on the eve of the opener, Brazil will keep the same routine and train at the same place and time. Besides the on-field activity, head coach Carlo Ancelotti and forward Vinicius Júnior will also speak to reporters.
Brazil’s World Cup campaign begins this Saturday (13) against Morocco. The opening match, valid for the first round of the group stage, is scheduled for 7 p.m. (Brasília time). The ball will roll at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
As usual, Coluna do Fla will cover the opener through its website, YouTube, and social media. In addition, Globo and SBT, both on free-to-air TV, as well as SporTV (pay TV), GETV (Globoplay), and CazéTV (YouTube), will broadcast the match.
