Although the 2022 World Cup is just a few months away, Brazil still have statutory obligations to do before traveling to Qatar. The Seleçao still have three qualifiers to play in South America, despite having secured a berth.
By the way, Tite’s squad are in the midst of an outstanding run and are unbeaten in the competition. As a result, the coach will be able to utilize the last games to put his players to the test and finalize the roster that will represent Brazil at the World Cup.

Upcoming matches of Brazil in the Qualifiers
Brazil are currently unbeaten in the Qualifiers and has already qualified for the World Cup, but it still has three obligations to complete its South American campaign. Look at the calendar!
- 17th round: Brazil vs Chile – 03/24/2022 (to be defined – Brazil)
- 18th round: Bolivia vs Brazil – 03/29/2022 (Hernando Siles – Bolivia)
- 6th round: Brazil vs Argentina – no date set (game rescheduled after suspension)
These are the Brazilian team’s last three official activities before the World Cup in Qatar. After that, a FIFA date has been set for June, when the game against Argentina is expected to take place, and friendlies against European countries are still possible. One of the prospective opponents is England.
When is the call-up of Brazil for the next games?
The roster for the games against Chile and Bolivia is expected to be announced in the second week of March. Tite’s selection of players who will defend the Selection will be completed on March 4th, giving him a few more days to examine his players.
This will be an opportunity to put fresh players to the test ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Coach Tite has more freedom to bring in players who have had fewer chances now that the Selecao have qualified for the World Cup.
A good development is that FIFA are contemplating allowing 26 players to register for the World Cup, rather than the regular 23. If the adjustment is approved, Brazil’s bench will have more alternatives for the tournament, particularly in attack.
Last matches of Brazil in the Qualifiers
Brazil have enjoyed a fantastic World Cup qualifying campaign. There have been 12 victories and three draws in 15 games, indicating that Tite’s side are yet to lose and have all it takes to finish first in the standings.
