The Brazilian National Team will face Panama in its farewell match before departing for the United States. The Seleção will take on the Central American team at Maracanã on May 31, closing the first phase of preparation for the World Cup.
This will be the last opportunity for Carlo Ancelotti’s squad to play in front of the Brazilian fans, marking the start of the quest for a sixth world title.
The Panamanian team is currently ranked 33rd in the FIFA Rankings and is in Group L of the World Cup, alongside England, Croatia, and Ghana.
For CBF president Samir Xaud, the match will seal the bond between the team and the fans as they look ahead to the world’s biggest national team tournament.
“I think it’s very symbolic that this farewell takes place on such an important and iconic stage. Maracanã is the home of the Brazilian National Team, a stadium known worldwide and always the site of great performances. Receiving the affection and support of the fans will be fundamental for the team, which will depart for the USA the very next day,” said the president.
The Brazilian National Team will train at Granja Comary in the days leading up to the match. For coach Carlo Ancelotti, it’s important to feel the fans’ energy before heading to the World Cup.
“I really like Maracanã, it’s a grand stage, full of history. We have everything it takes to play a high-level World Cup, we are preparing very well, the players are proud to serve the National Team, and this energy exchange before the tournament will be very good,” he emphasized.
