The first challenges are the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, against Ecuador, on June 5, in Guayaquil, and Paraguay, on the 10th, at the Arena Corinthians, in São Paulo.

Goalkeepers: Hugo Souza (Corinthians)

Defenders: Danilo, Wesley, Léo Ortiz and Alex Sandro (Flamengo); Fabrício Bruno (Cruzeiro); Alex Telles (Botafogo); Dodô (Fiorentina); Vanderson and Caio Henrique (Monaco); Alexsandro (Lille).

Forwards: Neymar (Santos); Igor Jesus (Botafogo); Igor Paixão (Feyenoord); João Pedro (Brighton); Evanílson (Bournemouth); Antony (Bétis); Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton); Richarlison (Tottenham).

In addition to the leaked names, it's worth remembering the players who normally made up the last call-ups, such as goalkeepers Alisson, from Liverpool, and Ederson, from Manchester City, and forwards Vini Jr., from Real Madrid, and Raphinha, from Barcelona, for example - Endrick and Rodrygo are injured.
