The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) defined the agenda for Brazil's next two games in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The team will face Chile on October 10, in Santiago, and, soon after, Peru , on the 15th, in Brasília. These commitments could cause concerns for Flamengo, as some of its athletes could be called up again.
Dorival Júnior will announce the squad list on September 27th, and Flamengo is anxiously awaiting to find out if it will have players called up . The team's training is scheduled to begin at CT Joaquim Grava, from Corinthians, in São Paulo, on October 7th, with the team remaining until the 9th, when it will depart for Santiago.
Flamengo, which is qualified for the semi-finals of the Copa do Brasil, will face Corinthians on the 2nd and 17th of October. This means that the decisive match of the Copa do Brasil will take place just two days after Brazil's clash with Peru, which could impact the red and black squad. In the last FIFA Date, the club had three players called up by Dorival Júnior.
In the games against Ecuador and Paraguay, in September, Pedro and Gerson were called to defend the Seleção. During training, Pedro suffered a serious injury and had to be cut after tearing the ligament in his left knee. The striker underwent surgery and is only expected to return in 2025.
In addition to Pedro and Gerson, Fabrício Bruno was hastily called up to replace defender Éder, who injured his right thigh, reinforcing the team against Paraguay .
MEANWHILE...While the Seleção prepares for the Qualifiers, Flamengo focuses on the decisive clash for the Libertadores. This Thursday (18), Mengão hosts Peñarol (URU) at Maracanã, in the quarter-finals of the tournament.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.
