Overview

• Brazil completed its roster this week when Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães and Gabriel Martinelli—players who reached the Champions League final—joined the delegation in the United States to make the 26-player squad whole.
• The team landed in Newark and trained at the New York Red Bulls’ Columbia Park facility in New Jersey, with the first full-squad session held the same day as arrival to begin two weeks of final preparation.
• CBF arranged charter transport on a Boeing 767-300ER operated by Aeronexus configured with a first-class layout to move the delegation and support staff to the U.S. training hub.
• Brazil will play one final pre-tournament friendly against Egypt at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland on June 6 before opening World Cup Group C play on June 13 at MetLife Stadium.
