Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti unveiled this Thursday, October 29, 2026, the list of 26 players selected for the Seleção’s next two friendly matches. Raphinha and Endrick are among the main attractions of this squad.

The Brazil squad is known. For their final two international fixtures of the year, Brazil will face Japan on November 14, followed by Singapore on November 17. Both matches will be played at Singapore National Stadium.

Carlo Ancelotti has notably selected Raphinha, the FC Barcelona winger, as well as Endrick, the Real Madrid striker. Vinicius Junior and Estevão are also included in the Brazil squad.

Raphinha and Endrick among the expected players

Raphinha’s return is one of the main highlights of the squad. The Barcelona winger will rejoin the national team for this November international window.

Endrick, meanwhile, continues his journey with the Seleção. The young striker will have the opportunity to impress the coaching staff in these two matches, alongside Vinicius Junior, Estevão, Rayan and Alisson Santana.

Ancelotti is also relying on several young players to broaden his options and prepare for Brazil’s next football challenges, notably the 2028 Copa América and the 2030 World Cup.

A squad renewed in every department

In goal, Bento, Lucas Perri and Pedro Morisco have been called up. In defence, Arthur Dias, Carlos Augusto, Gabriel Magalhães, Douglas Santos, Jair Cunha, Jonathan Jesus, Vanderson, Vitor Reis and Wesley make up the selected group.

In midfield, the head coach has called up Andrey Santos, André Luiz, Bruno Guimarães, Danilo, Gabriel Bontempo, João Gomes and Marlon Gomes. In attack, Alisson Santana, Allan, Endrick, Estevão, Raphinha, Rayan and Vinicius Junior complete the list.

This squad reflects the Brazilian staff’s desire to gradually renew the team and give greater responsibility to new profiles.

Brazil will begin this series against Japan on November 14, before facing Singapore three days later. These two matches will serve to continue the work started by Ancelotti and assess the players who could establish themselves with the Seleção in the long term.

Both matches will take place in Singapore and will bring Brazil’s national team schedule for 2026 to a close.
