Five-time world champions Brazil are heading to the 2026 FIFA World Cup with huge expectations once again as the Selecao prepare for another shot at global glory in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
After confirming their final squad for the tournament, Brazil will now turn full attention to navigating a challenging group stage and building momentum towards the knockout rounds.
