Brazil mean business at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The South American side have announced their squad for the global showpiece in Qatar and have opted for a mix of youth and experience.

Tite’s 26-man squad will be looking to bring back the glory days of old and have a great chance of doing so with their balance of attack and defence.

It's in attack where the Brazilians really shine. As reported by Sky Sports, Arsenal forwards Gabriel Martinelli, and Gabriel Jesus made the cut alongside Tottenham Hotspur’s Richarlison, Manchester United's Antony, and Barcelona’s Raphinha.

All eyes will be on Real Madrid’s Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr, as well as Paris Saint-Germain’s Neymar. Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino has been the surprise omission, though.

A rock-solid backline

While the squad is packed with firepower, they also have reliable enforcers at the back to keep other teams out.

Brazil have Premier League duo Alisson and Ederson between the sticks, while veteran defenders like Thiago Silva from Chelsea and 39-year-old Barcelona legend Dani Alves are among those who have made the cut.
