World Cup: Flamengo move up ranking for most Brazil call-ups | OneFootball

Ancelotti called up four Flamengo players for the World Cup

The Brazilian National Team called up four Flamengo players for the World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. As a result, Mengo reached 39 players called up by Brazil throughout history to play in the World Cup. Therefore, the Most Beloved now stands alone in third place among the clubs that have contributed the most names to the Seleção in the tournament.

This is because the rivalry between Vasco and Flamengo has even extended to World Cup call-ups. The Rio clubs were tied at 35 players called up for the World Cup in history. Lucas Paquetá, Alex Sandro, Danilo and Léo Pereira broke the tie.

In addition, the Rubro-Negro matched its own record for players called up in a single World Cup edition after 68 years. That is because, at the 1958 World Cup, four Flamengo representatives were called up by coach Vicente Feola: midfielder Moacir and forwards Zagallo, Joel, and Dida.
