Has Lucas Paquetá already been called up for the 2026 World Cup?


The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) released a video on Tuesday morning (24) featuring some players wearing the new Brazil national team jersey. Among those selected was Lucas Paquetá, which has increased expectations that the Flamengo midfielder will be on the final Brazil squad list for the 2026 World Cup.

In the video, Lucas Paquetá was wearing Brazil’s new home jersey and the number 8. Besides wearing the shirt, the midfielder showed off his flair and did the traditional dance step. Finally, the player also appeared passing the ball and delivering a pass to his teammates.

It is important to point out that, besides Lucas Paquetá, players such as Vini Jr, Estêvão and Richarlison — names practically guaranteed for the World Cup — were also featured in the campaign. Therefore, the tendency is that the Flamengo midfielder will be on Brazil’s final list.

WAS LUCAS PAQUETÁ CALLED UP FOR BRAZIL’S NEXT MATCHES?

In the most recent call-up before the final World Cup squad list, Lucas Paquetá’s name did not appear. However, Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti did not rule out the presence of the Ninho graduate in the national team.

“Those who are not here today could definitely be in the final squad. Today, a player like Paquetá is not here, as he has returned here. But he could very well be in the squad,” said Carlo Ancelotti.

WHAT ARE BRAZIL’S NEXT MATCHES?

Without Lucas Paquetá, Brazil has two friendlies during this FIFA window. The first will take place this Thursday (26) against France at 5:00 PM (Brasília time) in Boston. The second match will be against Croatia on March 31 at 9:00 PM (Brasília time) in Orlando, Florida.
