Brazilian national team debuts this Tuesday, at 9:30am, in the U-17 World Cup; get to know the standout players

If coach Carlo Ancelotti named yesterday the players who will represent Brazil in the friendly matches to prepare for the search for the sixth World Cup title, the Brazilian U-17 national team begins today the journey in pursuit of the fifth star. The team led by Carlos Eduardo Patetuci will face Honduras this Tuesday at 9:30am (Brasília time), in the first round of the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar. Four-time champion of the tournament (1997, 1999, 2003, and 2019), the Brazilian national team arrives with confidence in the World Cup. The team won the South American U-17 Championship in April, beating Colombia in a penalty shootout, with almost the same squad that is in Doha and comes from two big wins in the lead-up to the World Cup: 7-1 against Costa Rica and 5-0 against Mexico.
