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.
Forward
Real Madrid
Vinícius is still the individual reference point of Brazil's attack and the player opponents fear most in transition.
Winger
Barcelona
Raphinha's end product and directness give Brazil a second elite wide threat, especially against deep defensive blocks.
Midfielder
Newcastle United
Bruno is the midfielder who connects Brazil's talent to actual control; without him, the side can look stretched.
Defender
Paris Saint-Germain
Marquinhos remains the organiser and emotional leader of the back line, crucial in knockout football.
Goalkeeper
Liverpool
Tournament-winning teams usually need at least one elite match-saving goalkeeper performance, and Alisson gives Brazil exactly that insurance.
