It's all eyes on Brazil in this week's 2026 World Cup qualifying matches in the Conmebol region. Carlo Ancelotti will take charge of the Selecao for the first time, his debut in international management, on Thursday evening/early hours of Friday morning (depending on your time zone).

The Divine Eyebrow replaced Dorival Junior at the end of the 2024-25 season, when the Italian left Real Madrid as an ironclad legend of European football.

But there's interest for Ecuador too. If they beat Brazil at home and Venezuela fail to beat Bolivia, La Tri will be guaranteed a place at next year's World Cup. They currently sit second in the ten-team group, behind Argentina, with just four games left to play and six automatic qualification slots available.
