The Brazilian team travels to the USA this Monday (1); find out details
One day after the victory over Panama, at Maracanã, the Brazilian team leaves for New Jersey, in the United States, the city that will serve as the delegation's base during the 2026 World Cup.
The players will perform again at 4pm (Brasília time) this Monday (1) at the Hilton Barra Hotel, in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro. Afterwards, the group will head to the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) before embarking towards the USA.
Departure to Tom Jobim International Airport is scheduled for 8pm, while the flight to New Jersey is scheduled to take off at 10pm.
In North American territory, the delegation will stay at The Ridge Hotel, in the Basking Ridge region.
The choice was strategic: the location is approximately 15 minutes from the Columbia Park Training Facility, a training center that will be used by the National Team during the tournament, and approximately 30 minutes from MetLife Stadium, where Brazil will make its debut against Morocco, on June 13th.
Before their first World Cup match, however, the team led by Carlo Ancelotti will travel to Cleveland, where they will play the last preparatory friendly against Egypt, on June 6.
The Brazilian team is part of Group C of the competition, alongside Morocco, Scotland and Haiti.
