Inside, the best-kept secret in Brazilian football: the 26 names chosen to try to bring the Canarinha the star it craves most. The sixth. The Museum of Tomorrow hosted an event full of emotion and anticipation, a true reflection of what this World Cup means to an entire nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The squad is a mirror of Carletto\u2019s philosophy: balance, talent and team above all else. From Alisson\u2019s solidity between the posts to Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior\u2019s explosive play in attack, through Marquinhos\u2019 experience in defence and Bruno Guimar\u00e3es\u2019 leadership in midfield. A squad built to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"pt\" dir=\"ltr\">Nossa convoca\u00e7\u00e3o. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BateNoPeito?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BateNoPeito<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ekHWaHXggP\">pic.twitter.com\/ekHWaHXggP<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Carlo Ancelotti (@MrAncelotti) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MrAncelotti\/status\/2056664501978542568?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 19, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The 26 chosen ones<\/strong><br>Goalkeepers: Alisson (Liverpool), Ederson (Fenerbah\u00e7e) and Weverton (Gr\u00eamio).

Ancelotti was clear: \u00abNeymar will be an important player for us at the World Cup. We spent the whole year analysing him. We realised that in this last period he had continuity and was in good physical condition\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The dream begins on June 13<\/strong><br>Brazil open their campaign against Morocco at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, in a Group C that also includes Scotland and Haiti.
