Filipe Luís drops Flamengo player from Club World Cup contention | OneFootball

Which player did Filipe Luís cut from the World Cup squad?

Flamengo released the squad list for the World Cup, the new format of the Intercontinental, this Saturday (06). For the competition, coach Filipe Luís ‘cut’ Matías Viña.

Since the start of the season, Viña had been the third-choice left-back at Flamengo. After recovering from a serious injury, the Uruguayan even got some opportunities and stood out in Mengão’s victory over Red Bull Bragantino in a Brasileirão match.

Even so, Filipe Luís continued to choose Alex Sandro as the ‘owner’ of the position, followed by Ayrton Lucas as the immediate backup. Thus, Viña was unable to get a run of games in 2025 and is out of the Intercontinental, which will be played in Doha, Qatar. Finally, Allan was also left out of the squad list.

IS PEDRO ON THE SQUAD LIST FOR THE WORLD CUP?

YES! Just as in the final of the Libertadores, Pedro will travel with his teammates this Saturday (06) for the World Cup. The expectation is that the number 9 will be available for coach Filipe Luís in the tournament matches. The first match is already set for this Wednesday (10) against Cruz Azul (MEX).

WHO ARE THE FLAMENGO PLAYERS LISTED FOR THE WORLD CUP?

WHEN IS FLAMENGO’S FIRST MATCH IN THE WORLD CUP?

The Flamengo squad will travel to Qatar this Saturday (06), with arrival in Doha expected on Sunday (07). Once in Qatar, Mengão will begin preparations for the World Cup.

The first match will be against Cruz Azul, from Mexico, at 2:00 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (10). If they win, they will face Pyramids (EGY) on December 13. Finally, if they reach the final, they will face PSG (FRA) on 12/17. Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show all the details on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
