Corinthians narrowly missed out on goalkeeper Hugo Souza in the 2026 World Cup. Despite being a constant presence in Carlo Ancelotti's last squads before the World Cup, the Timão goalkeeper ended up being passed over and left out of the final list.

The Brazilian team will feature goalkeepers Alisson (Liverpool), Ederson (Fenerbahçe) and Weverton (Grêmio). Interestingly, this is the first time that the Seleção uses the same trio of goalkeepers for the tournament.
