How the Brazilian quartet are shaping up for the World Cup in the 🇺🇸 | OneFootball

The time is approaching!

The Super Club World Cup will kick off this Saturday (14) with Al Ahly vs Inter Miami.

The first Brazilian representatives will take to the field the following day.

See, then, how Botafogo, Palmeiras, Flamengo, and Fluminense are preparing for the tournament held in the United States and the schedule for each team in the group stage.

Palmeiras - Group A

The latest results in the Brasileirão - defeats to Flamengo and Cruzeiro - have left fans with some doubts about the team's true capacity against more qualified opponents.

Abel Ferreira is counting on a better collective performance to potentiate Vitor Roque, who has yet to find his rhythm.

Paulinho is another player receiving special attention and will have a great chance to deliver the football expected of him (if his calf injury allows it).

The list of players who are not in a good moment still includes Veiga and Ríos.

The great mission for Palmeiras will be to succeed in the group stage for now and, at the same time, return to playing well in big games amidst Estêvão's farewell.

The young player will make his last appearances with Palmeiras before joining Chelsea.

📅 Palmeiras' schedule:

15/6 - Sunday

19h - Palmeiras x Porto

19/6 - Thursday

13h - Palmeiras x Al Ahly

23/6 - Monday

22h - Inter Miami x Palmeiras

Botafogo - Group B

Textor opened his wallet to reinforce the current Brazilian and Libertadores champion: he invested R$ 145 million in the signings of Arthur Cabral, Joaquín Correa, Álvaro Montoro, Kaio Fernando, and Christian Loor.

The first great mission for Botafogo will be to reach the round of 16 in a group that includes two European teams.

Renato Paiva now has valuable options for the sector that most needed new players: the offense.

The first transfer window brought several new players to the attack, but only Artur has delivered good football so far, making it clear that more signings are needed.

Arthur Cabral is already the replacement for Igor Jesus, who is leaving Nottingham Forest - which is also expected to sign Jair and Cuiabano.

It will be up to the Portuguese coach to make Botafogo maintain the evolution seen in their last games.

However, now they are facing high-level opponents, including PSG, the Champions League winner.

📅 Botafogo's schedule:

15/6 - Sunday

23h - Botafogo x Seattle Sounders

19/6 - Thursday

22h - PSG x Botafogo

23/6 - Monday

16h - Atlético de Madrid x Botafogo

Flamengo - Group D

The performance seen in the last games has reinforced the confidence of the red-black fans.

However, Flamengo arrives at the competition still dealing with the negotiation involving Gerson - something that has shaken the club as a whole.

Gerson, a great technical reference for the team alongside Arrascaeta, will leave the club for Zenit after the competition.

Filipe Luís has gained Jorginho, who tends to be Gerson's replacement.

He is still waiting for De La Cruz and Pulgar to be released at 100%.

There is also the expectation that Pedro and Bruno Henrique will deliver more football.

The defensive solidity is a trump card, which will be put to the test mainly against Chelsea in the second round.

📅 Flamengo's schedule:

16/6 - Monday

22h - Flamengo x Esperánce

20/6 - Friday

15h - Flamengo x Chelsea

24/6 - Tuesday

22h - Los Angeles FC x Flamengo

Fluminense - Group F

Tricolor fans have been wishing day and night for heavy reinforcements, thinking precisely about the World Cup and its visibility.

The board made a point of externalizing the "searches" for Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo, but the reality was Soteldo, who is not having a positive 2025 - after the attempt to sign Nico López.

One of Renato Gaúcho's great goals will be to make Fluminense work amidst some question marks.

Cano has recovered from a serious injury. He tends to be a starter in place of the criticized Everaldo, but he won't have the necessary game rhythm.

Ganso has recovered from a heart problem, but he is not seen as essential - at least not at this moment.

The phase is positive, since Fluminense has obtained classifications in the Sula and Copa do Brasil, and is having a good Brasileirão. The search is for maintaining collective evolution.

📅 Fluminense's schedule:

17/6 - Tuesday

13h - Fluminense x Borussia Dortmund

21/6 - Saturday

19h - Fluminense x Ulsan UD

25/6 - Wednesday

16h - Mamelodi Sundowns x Fluminense
