Ancelotti Reveals Brazil’s Starting XI for World Cup Opener Against Morocco
Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed his preferred lineup for the Seleção’s first match of the 2026 World Cup against Morocco. His decision followed a confidence-boosting friendly win over Egypt in Cleveland, where Endrick and Bruno Guimarães found the net. Ancelotti praised his side’s intensity and tactical discipline, noting that they applied high pressure and defended and attacked with strength for most of the game. He believes this momentum will be crucial in the tournament’s opening fixture. The veteran manager also highlighted a brief lapse in concentration during the first half. He warned that in a World Cup there are no second chances and stressed that Brazil must eliminate any costly mistakes as they aim to lift the trophy for the first time since 2002.
