Flamengo is about to take the field to face Botafogo this Saturday (14th), for the sixth round of the Brasileirão. The coach of the Brazilian National Team, Carlo Ancelotti will be present at Estádio Nilton Santos to observe potential call-ups from the red and black squad.
Lucas Paquetá, Pedro, and Léo Pereira are some of the names still fighting for a spot in the World Cup. The defender, in fact, is on the preliminary list of the Brazilian National Team for the upcoming friendlies. Therefore, if the players perform well this Saturday (14th), they could earn favor with Carlo Ancelotti.
While the players are seeking a spot on the Brazilian National Team, two Flamengo athletes are already ‘guaranteed’ for the World Cup with Brazil. After all, Danilo and Alex Sandro are trusted names for Carlo Ancelotti. In other words, the defender and the full-back will only miss out on the list of 26 call-ups in case of injury.
Before thinking about the 2026 World Cup, the Brazilian National Team still has two preparation friendlies. On March 26th, Brazil faces France at Gillette Stadium in Boston. Additionally, on the 31st of the same month, the ‘Seleção’ takes on Croatia at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.
It’s worth noting that the official announcement of the Brazilian National Team squad for the World Cup will take place on May 19th. Thus, coach Carlo Ancelotti will begin preparing the squad on the 25th of the same month, while the trip to the United States is set for June 1st.
The classic between Flamengo and Botafogo takes place this Saturday (14th), for the sixth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The ball will roll at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Estádio Nilton Santos.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Botafogo through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Prime Video, via streaming, will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
