Key players

Forward · Winger

Vinícius Júnior ↗

One of the best players in the world. Electrifying winger at Real Madrid, capable of single-handedly deciding matches with his pace, dribbling, and clinical finishing. Brazil's talisman and biggest attacking threat.

Forward

Rodrygo ↗

Creative and versatile forward who complements Vinícius perfectly. A proven big-game performer at Real Madrid with the intelligence and technical quality to unlock any defence.

Goalkeeper

Alisson Becker ↗

World-class goalkeeper and arguably the best in the world in his position. An unflappable presence between the sticks for both Liverpool and Brazil, combining elite shot-stopping with exceptional distribution.

Defender · Centre-back

Marquinhos ↗

Composed and experienced captain and centre-back who leads by example. The PSG stalwart is Brazil's defensive cornerstone — calm in possession, commanding in the air, and a natural leader.

Forward · Winger

Raphinha ↗

Dynamic winger and free-kick specialist at Barcelona. Raphinha brings intensity, creativity, and directness to the attacking line and will be crucial in the final third throughout the tournament.
