Who’s up and who’s down in Brazil after the international break? Comment 🗣 The last FIFA international break before the 2026 World Cup ended this Tuesday (31), with Brazil’s 3-1 win over Croatia . Before their tournament debut on June 13 against Morocco, Brazil will still face Panama on May 31 at the Maracanã, and Egypt on June 6, already on U.
S. soil. However, coach Carlo Ancelotti’s final squad list must be submitted to FIFA on May 18.
The Italian manager has already confirmed that Flamengo center-back Danilo is guaranteed a spot at the World Cup. That leaves 25 spots still up for grabs to represent Brazil in the hunt for a record-extending sixth world title. For the March friendlies against France (1-2) and Croatia (3-1), Ancelotti called up these players: Goalkeepers: Hugo Souza* (Corinthians), Bento (Al-Nassr) and Ederson (Fenerbahçe) Defenders: Kaiki (Cruzeiro)*, Bremer (Juventus), Danilo (Flamengo), Douglas Santos (Zenit), Ibañez (Al-Ahli), Leo Pereira (Flamengo), Marquinhos (PSG), Vitor Reis (Girona)* and Wesley (Roma) Midfielders: Andrey Santos (Chelsea), Casemiro (Manchester United), Danilo (Botafogo), Fabinho (Al-Ittihad) and Gabriel Sara (Galatasaray) Forwards: Endrick (Lyon), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal), Igor Thiago (Brentford), João Pedro (Chelsea), Luiz Henrique (Zenit), Matheus Cunha (Manchester United), Raphinha (Barcelona), Rayan (Bournemouth) and Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid) * called up in place of Liverpool’s Alisson, Flamengo’s Alex Sandro, and Arsenal’s Gabriel Magalhães.
Wesley and Raphinha, meanwhile, were ruled out after the defeat to France, but were not replaced. With that in mind, OneFootball picked out who did well and who did poorly during the FIFA international break, moving them closer to or further away from the World Cup.
