Flamengo demand answers from Brazil before Morocco World Cup clash | OneFootball

Brazil opens its 2026 World Cup campaign against Morocco with four Flamengo players

The most die-hard red-and-black supporters are already missing Flamengo’s matches. So, the fans can’t wait to see the called-up players in the World Cup. With that in mind, Fla wished good luck to the four Mengo players who are with Brazil and will make their debut this Saturday (13).

“Tomorrow marks the beginning of another chapter in the history of the Brazilian National Team at the World Cup, with four red-and-black players representing the country! Good luck! The Nation is with you!,” Flamengo’s official X account (formerly Twitter) posted.

Who are the four Flamengo players?

Coach Carlo Ancelotti called up Lucas Paquetá, Léo Pereira, Danilo and Alex Sandro for the World Cup. All four will be available for Brazil against Morocco starting at 7 p.m. Brasília time this Saturday (13). The Group C match will be played at MetLife Stadium in the United States.

Are there any other Flamengo players called up?

In addition to the Brazilian quartet, Mengo also sent Arrascaeta, De La Cruz and Varela to Uruguay. Colombia, meanwhile, took Jorge Carrascal, while Gonzalo Plata is with Ecuador. However, the Uruguayan No. 10 is injured and is expected to miss La Celeste’s opening matches.

What did Flamengo do during the World Cup?

The World Cup brought Brazilian football to a halt. Therefore, the players who were not called up are on break, but they are expected to return to training later this month. That is because the Most Beloved plans to hold a mid-season training camp.

What is a mid-season training camp?

The idea is to play three friendlies while the World Cup is going on. That way, when Brazilian football resumes, the Most Beloved will not be too short on match rhythm. So, Fla plans to face Falkirk (Scotland), Birmingham (England) and Benfica (Portugal) in Portugal.

Where to watch Brazil vs Morocco?

With good vibes from Flamengo, Brazil’s 2026 World Cup opener will be broadcast on free-to-air television. That’s because Grupo Globo and SBT will air the match, while SporTV (pay TV), GE TV (YouTube) and CazéTV (YouTube) will stream it online.
