Overview

  • Patetuci announced the 21-player roster on Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026, to represent Brazil at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar.
  • Brazil was drawn into Group I with Ireland, Tanzania and Costa Rica and will open the tournament on Nov. 21 as part of the Nov. 19–Dec. 13 schedule.
  • The squad will report to a final training camp at Granja Comary in Teresópolis on Nov. 3 and the delegation will travel to Qatar on Nov. 14.
  • The list reflects a performance-driven selection process, with Patetuci citing players’ club seasons and national-team periods as the main criteria.
  • The roster features heavy representation from Rio de Janeiro clubs and forces Bahia to miss attacker Kauê Furquim for its last Brasileirão fixtures, a loss that could affect the club’s end-of-season results.
