Brazil, the most successful team in World Cup history, is preparing for the 2026 tournament under new head coach Carlo Ancelotti. Known for their attacking flair and technical skill, the Seleção remain favorites. Key players include Vinicius Jr., Raphinha, Neymar, and Bruno Guimarães. Brazil won their fifth World Cup in 2002 and have not reached the final since 2002, but Ancelotti's tactical discipline aims to end the drought. Their recent form has been inconsistent, yet their depth and creativity make them a threat. Strengths: attacking transitions, individual brilliance. Weaknesses: defensive organization under pressure.
