Coach Carlo Ancelotti announced, this Wednesday, the first call-up list for the Brazilian national team for the new cycle towards the 2030 World Cup. The call-up includes ten athletes who play in Brazilian football, with a tendency to call younger players. Corinthians is the team with the most representatives on the list, with three players: goalkeeper Hugo Souza, right-back Matheuzinho, and midfielder Breno Bidon. Flamengo, Chelsea, and Real Madrid follow, each with two players called up.
The scheduled matches for the September FIFA window include two friendlies against Australia and one against India. On September 25, Brazil faces the Australians at the Queensland Country Bank stadium, in Townsville. Four days later, on the 29th, the Brazilian national team faces the hosts again, this time at the Suncorp stadium, in Brisbane.
After the matches against Australia, the Brazilian national team will play its first game against the Indian national team. The encounter, which will take place on October 3, marks a historic event in the sporting relations between the two countries, as the two national teams have never faced each other before in an official or friendly match.
