Complete Team Guide

Brazil's World Cup 2026 squad has three storylines that override everything else: Neymar is back, Éderson left Manchester City for Fenerbahçe, and Endrick somehow departed Real Madrid for Lyon. Vinícius Júnior leads a nine-forward squad under Carlo Ancelotti that is the most heavily watched in the tournament.

Road to 2026

Brazil qualified again from CONMEBOL and, according to FIFA's official tracker, sealed their place on 10 June 2025 with a 1-0 win over Paraguay in Carlo Ancelotti's first qualifying window as coach. The squad still has elite attacking talent, but its strongest version now depends on structure around Vinícius Júnior, Raphinha and Bruno Guimarães.

Key Players

Vinícius Júnior

Forward

Real Madrid

Vinícius is still the individual reference point of Brazil's attack and the player opponents fear most in transition.

Raphinha

Winger

Barcelona

Raphinha's end product and directness give Brazil a second elite wide threat, especially against deep defensive blocks.

Bruno Guimarães

Midfielder

Newcastle United

Bruno is the midfielder who connects Brazil's talent to actual control; without him, the side can look stretched.

Marquinhos

Defender

Paris Saint-Germain

Marquinhos remains the organiser and emotional leader of the back line, crucial in knockout football.

Alisson

Goalkeeper

Liverpool

Tournament-winning teams usually need at least one elite match-saving goalkeeper performance, and Alisson gives Brazil exactly that insurance.
