On the 26th, the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) announced the members of the country's national team who will be competing in the 26th of the FIFA World Cup South American qualifiers next month.
The Brazilian national team is off to a new start under the “famous general”, who has won all five major European leagues and has won the Champions League (CL) five times. Since former manager Cic retired after 2022 in Qatar, he has been fighting unstable despite being led by multiple managers, and has struggled in the FIFA World Cup 26 South American qualifiers. With the tournament in just a year ahead, manager Carlo Ancelotti, who has achieved numerous successes at the club level, has been entrusted with the “rebuilding” of the Canary Corps.
Manager Ancelotti's first match against Ecuador on the 5th local time and against Paraguay on the 10th. The Brazilian national team has made up 14 matches so far, with 6 wins, 3 draws, 5 losses and 21 points, and are in fourth place, where they are eligible to participate in the tournament. However, with four games remaining, it is still a “6” point difference between Venezuela, the 7th place Venezuela national team in the playoffs, with a “6-point difference” remaining.
