Carlo Ancelotti, head coach of the Brazilian national football team, has named the two countries he would like to see play in the final of next year’s FIFA World Cup tournament.
The 2026 World Cup will take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico in June and July.
Argentina are the current holders of the competition, having won the last edition in Qatar.
However, Ancelotti said he would like Brazil and Italy to meet in the final of the 2026 World Cup.

“We hope it doesn’t become 28! We want to win, and we don’t hide it. I would like a final between Brazil and Italy, it would be beautiful for me on an emotional level.”
