The Socceroos take on Brazil in a two-game international friendly series over the next few days.
The first match will be played at Queensland Country Bank Stadium on Friday night, with the second match played at Suncorp Stadium on Tuesday.
The Socceroos have no shortage of exciting homegrown talents that will take to the field during these friendlies, such as Nestory Irankunda, Lucas Herrington and Alessandro Circati, all of whom have inked overseas deals with European clubs following their 2026 FIFA World Cup performances.
Brazil haven't shied away from bringing superstars over to Australia for their friendly squad, with plenty of big players named to play against the Socceroos. Here are the players to look out for.
6. Vinicius José Paixão de Oliveira Júnior (Vini Jnr)
REAL MADRID, FORWARD - LaLiga
Another surprising addition to the Brazilian squad is Real Madrid winger Vini Jnr, one of the best wingers in football in recent years. Sharing the pitch with French superstar Kylian Mbappé at Madrid, the winger possesses that renowned Brazilian flair. His pace and skill on the ball are truly something to behold, a generational talent that will remain on the world stage for many more years to come.
Ancelotti has also confirmed Vini Jnr will be starting against the Socceroos and will be expected to get enough minutes to show the crowd the electric style that he is used to playing in front of the big Spanish crowds.
