📋 Squad named for likely Brazil farewell before the 2026 World Cup | OneFootball

The Brazilian National Team takes the field this Thursday (4th), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), when they host Chile at the Maracanã, for the 17th and penultimate round of the South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

The only team in the world to have participated in every edition of the World Cup, the Brazilian National Team has already secured its spot, since June, in the tournament that will be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Brazil is in third place in the Qualifiers with 25 points, behind only Ecuador (25 points) and Argentina, which has already secured first place with 35 points.

Chile, on the other hand, is at the bottom of the table with 10 points and has no chance of qualifying.

Besides being a match in which coach Carlo Ancelotti will conduct his final tests ahead of the final squad selection for the 2026 World Cup, it may also be the farewell of the National Team to the Brazilian fans.

After all, during the October FIFA window, Brazil will visit South Korea on the 10th and Japan on the 14th. And in March and June, the last call-ups before the World Cup, it’s likely to be against a European opponent, but also away from home.

Compared to the last match (1-0 over Paraguay, in the previous round), coach Carlo Ancelotti opted for Wesley, Gabriel Magalhães, Douglas Santos, Estêvão, and João Pedro to replace Vanderson, Alexsandro Ribeiro, Alex Sandro, Vini Jr, and Matheus Cunha, respectively, in the Brazilian National Team.
