Brazil plan India visit after viral World Cup scenes show thousands of fans wearing Selecao jerseys

Brazil are in advanced talks to play a friendly in Kolkata in October 2026.

The discussions began after viral World Cup scenes showed thousands of Indian fans wearing Brazil jerseys.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is negotiating with Indian organisers; only final contractual details remain.

Brazil's opponent has not been decided yet; it may not be the Indian national team.

The Kolkata fixture would complete a three-match international window, following two games against Australia in late September.
