The head coach of the Brazilian national team, Carlo Ancelotti, is in charge of the team's upcoming friendly matches as part of preparations for the World Cup 2026. The Brazilian Football Confederation informs about this.

The Brazilian national team will hold two control matches during the international season: on the 26th, Selesao will play against France in Boston, and on the 31st, they will compete with Croatia in Orlando.. These matches will be the last ones for the team before the start of the World Championship 2026, which will be held in the USA, Mexico and Canada.

One of the main novelties of the application was the return to the warehouse of the 19-year attacker Endrik. A young forward who plays for Lyon on loan from Real Madrid, without earning the national team. He returned to the field at the beginning of 2025 in the World Championship qualifying match against Argentina, which ended with a defeat of the Brazilians with a 1:4 draw.

After that, Endrik missed a difficult period through injuries, playing practice at Real Madrid was limited and his form declined. The situation changed after moving to Lyon on loan - the French club's forward quickly regained his form and has already recorded 11 effective actions in 12 matches.

Attack leaders Vinicius Junior and Rafinha also reached the warehouse of the national team of Brazil, who are expected to be key figures in Ancelotti's team in preparation for the upcoming World Cup. Neymar is not on the list.
