Flamengo expect at least 8 players to be called up for the 2026 World Cup | OneFootball

Number of Players Called Up for the World Cup Could Be Higher Than Estimated by Flamengo

The March FIFA Date has not yet arrived. However, Flamengo continues to plan for the World Cup period. This is because the Most Beloved believes that around eight players may be called up for the World Cup.

In summary, it is almost certain that the Uruguayan National Team will call up the Flamengo trio: Arrascaeta, De La Cruz, and Varela. Additionally, Ecuador is expected to call Gonzalo Plata, while Colombia is likely to include Jorge Carrascal.

On the other hand, the Brazilian National Team may have about four players called up. For the March FIFA Date, Carlo Ancelotti called Alex Sandro, Danilo, and Léo Pereira. However, Lucas Paquetá is almost guaranteed to be present at the World Cup.

Are There Other Names in the Running?

Yes! In short, Ancelotti has already called up Léo Ortiz, for example. Besides the defender, Pedro has represented the Brazilian National Team in the past and is now a name that 'runs on the outside.' Additionally, Italy might call Jorginho if they qualify for the World Cup through the playoffs, a sort of 'repechage,' which takes place in March.

When Does the Next FIFA Date Start?

It is worth noting that the Brazilian National Team will play on March 26 against France at the Gillette Stadium in Boston. Then, on the 31st of the same month, Brazil will face Croatia at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, also in the United States.

And When Does Flamengo Play?

Before that, however, Flamengo will take the field this Thursday (19th), when they face Remo at 8 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. It is important to note that the match will be valid for the seventh round of the Brazilian Championship.
