Brazil begins its new project with Carlo Ancelotti this Friday in Townsville against Australia. After elimination against Norway in the round of 16 of 2026, the Seleção relies on an experienced base enriched with nine new players. Matheuzinho and Vitor Reis are among the main additions to this revamped squad. Australia, ranked 28th in the FIFA rankings and eliminated by Egypt on penalties, represents a first test for these two national teams in reconstruction.
