The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) announced this Monday (18) the Brazil national team squad for the 2026 World Cup. Léo Pereira, a center back for Flamengo, is on the final list, and Karoline Lima, the player’s girlfriend, had a reaction that caught attention.
Karoline Lima was at the Museum of Tomorrow, where the event took place, in Rio de Janeiro. After Carlo Ancelotti announced that Léo Pereira had been called up, the player’s girlfriend flashed a huge smile after showing tension during the announcement of the list.
Léo Pereira is on the list of center backs called up by Carlo Ancelotti for the World Cup. Besides the Flamengo defender, Marquinhos, Ibáñez, Gabriel Magalhães and Bremer were also selected by the Italian coach.
In addition to center back Léo Pereira, Flamengo had three other names on the final World Cup list. Danilo and Alex Sandro were included among the full-backs. Finally, Lucas Paquetá was called up for midfield.
Brazil are in Group C of the World Cup and will open their campaign against Morocco on June 13 in the United States. Right after that, Carlo Ancelotti’s team face Haiti. Finally, they wrap up their group-stage campaign in a match against Scotland.
So, while the World Cup has not arrived, Flamengo remain focused on the upcoming challenges. In that sense, the Rubro-Negro side face Estudiantes (ARG) on Wednesday (20) at the Maracanã in the Copa Libertadores. Therefore, Coluna do Fla brings all the information.
