Hupu, October 15th, the latest report from the famous Brazilian Global Sports reporter Cahê Mota. The final observation will be made in November, the basic starting lineup will be determined in March, and the contact with Brazilian fans will be strengthened before going to the United States. This is the Brazilian Football Association’s schedule for the national team with less than eight months remaining in the 2026 World Cup.

Before the final roster is announced in May, the national team will play four friendly matches. The department is discussing this process. The most important news is that it is possible to start preparations for the World Cup at the Granja Comari Stadium and conduct a warm-up friendly match at the Maracana Stadium.

The specific arrangement of the game still depends on further discussions and which group Brazil will be assigned to in the draw ceremony to be held in Washington on December 5.

If assigned to Group F, the national team plans to only play one game in the United States as a warm-up match. If the draw results show that Brazil is placed in Group G or another group, the team will have time to prepare and discuss a friendly match with a weaker opponent in Rio de Janeiro to strengthen connections with fans and increase mobilization on the eve of the World Cup.

However, the final decision is likely to not be made until 2026.

As for Ancelotti, even if he lost to the Japanese team, the Italian coach is eager to observe further. The coaching staff's plan is to give more opportunities to the Brazilian players in the games against Senegal and Tunisia in November.

The coaching staff’s plan is to call players to participate in games against stronger opponents as close to the final roster as possible, which will be announced in May and leave room for emergency injuries.
