The announcement of the final squad for the Brazilian national team for the 2026 World Cup only took place a full two hours after the official broadcast commenced. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti began revealing the roster after this delay, and the actual reading of the names lasted a mere five minutes or so. This drawn-out process stirred discontent among Brazilian supporters, who voiced their reactions widely in the comment sections.
The confirmed squad includes, among others, players from St. Petersburg’s “Zenit”—namely forward Luis Henrique and defender Douglas Santos. Furthermore, “Santos” forward Neymar has been included to participate in the tournament.
During the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, Brazil is set to compete in Group C alongside the national teams of Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland. The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be hosted across the USA, Canada, and Mexico, taking place between June 11th and July 19th.
