Ahead of the World Cup, five-time world champions Brazil are going to announce the final squad today. The biggest topic of discussion among football fans is whether star footballer Neymar will get a place in the team or not. There has been talk of his return for a long time, so there is growing curiosity among fans even before the announcement.
The World Cup squad will be officially announced at a special event in Rio de Janeiro on Monday afternoon local time. New coach Carlo Ancelotti is going to reveal his preferred team for a major international tournament for the first time.
The international media has also shown great interest in the announcement of this team. It is reported that hundreds of journalists from different countries around the world have registered to cover the event. Journalists from several countries outside of Brazil will follow the event live.
The possible 26-member squad will be announced late at night Bangladesh time. Who is getting a chance in the team, how the combination of experienced and new faces is going to be and the biggest question - whether Neymar's name will remain or not - are now the focus of discussion.
