Brazil takes on Panama on Sunday at the iconic Maracanã Stadium as Carlo Ancelotti’s side bids farewell to its home support before traveling to North America for the 2026 World Cup.

Adding a sixth star to the badge is La Seleçao’s lone mission this summer. With a powerful roster headlined by the return of all-time leading scorer and spiritual leader, Neymar Jr.—who will miss the clash vs. Panama through injury, Brazil dreams of winning a World Cup on U.S. soil for the second time despite arriving to the tournament outside the clear-cut favorites to win it all.

Panama has emerged as one of the best teams in Central and North America in recent times. With Thomas Christiansen at the helm, Panama has reached an unprecedented level and seem keen on improving on its 2018 result in the nation’s second ever World Cup appearance.

Still, Brazil is heavily favored in Sunday’s clash, and with excitement growing all over the most iconic soccer nation in the world, La Seleçao aims to start its final World Cup push with an emphatic performance at its spiritual home.
