On Monday (26), the new coach of the Brazilian National Team, Carlo Ancelotti, was officially introduced. In addition, he has already made his first call-up for the next games of the Brazilian National Team.
The matches will take place next FIFA date in June, when Brazil will face Ecuador and Paraguay, on June 5 and 10, in the World Cup Qualifiers. With a contract until at least the 2026 World Cup, the 65-year-old Italian leaves Real Madrid and arrives in Brazil with high approval from the press and fans.
The arrival of the coach has had repercussions around the world, even shaking up the betting market. Previously, the “amarelinha” team was not seen as one of the favorites for the 2026 World Cup, however, with the presence of the new coach, the odds for the main candidates for the 2026 World Cup title have undergone significant changes.
According to some of the country’s main sportsbooks such as GaleraBet, Odds&Scouts, 7K, Vera, Cassino and Casa de Apostas, the National Team has now returned to the top of the list as one of the big favorites to win the 2026 World Cup, directly rivaling France, in search of the sixth championship.
The Brazilians lead with average odds of 6.60, closely followed by the French, who have 6.75. Next comes England, with 7.50, and completing the top 5 are Spain, with averages of 8.5, and Argentina, the current champion of the competition, with odds of 9.00.
The 23rd edition of the World Cup will take place between June and July 2026 and marks two unprecedented events. Never before has the competition featured three host countries.
Spread across the United States, Canada and Mexico, 16 cities will host the matches of the world’s largest national team tournament. In addition, this will be the first time that the title dispute will feature 48 teams (previously there were 32 teams).
