Brazil announce squad for September FIFA World Cup qualifiers

Brazil will play against Bolivia and Peru

The Brazil national team for the first two CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers has been named by Fernando Diniz. These qualifiers are scheduled during the September international break.

After a disappointing quarterfinal exit in the last two editions of the competition, this young Brazil squad will be more determined this time to lift the trophy.

The five-time champions began their qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup against Bolivia. This match is scheduled for 8th September and will take place at the Estádio Olímpico do Pará in Brazil.

Their second match is scheduled against Peru and will be played on 12th September. This match will take place in Lima, Peru.

Fernando Diniz has named a strong squad. This South American country has produced a lot of young players and most of them have made it to this qualifier team. Neymar, who signed for Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal is also a part of this team.
