O Fifa Series 2026 é a segunda edição de um torneio de seleções em formato amistoso e organizado pela entidade máxima do futebol. E o Brasil é uma das sedes confirmadas na edição do futebol feminino, que fará sua estreia.
Após o projeto piloto em 2024, a Fifa decidiu refazer o torneio para aumentar o número de sedes e de países, a maioria de pouca relevância no cenário mundial. O objetivo é facilitar a marcação de jogos internacionais mais relevantes para seleções modestas e ampliar o intercâmbio entre vários continentes.
As sedes confirmadas
Segundo o anúncio, a Fifa Series feminina terá Brasil, Tailândia e Costa do Marfim como sedes. Já a edição masculina acontecerá em: Austrália, Azerbaijão, Indonésia, Cazaquistão, Maurício, Porto Rico, Ruanda e Uzbequistão.
“Fifa Series visa desbloquear o potencial de desenvolvimento de jogadores, treinadores e torcedores, promovendo a universalidade e a diversidade do futebol por meio de partidas significativas. A edição de 2026 ampliará ainda mais esse impacto, tanto para o futebol masculino quanto para o feminino”, afirmou o presidente da Fifa, Gianni Infantino.
“Ao conectar nações por meio da competição, a Série FIFA busca fortalecer o esporte em todos os níveis, levando as comunidades locais ao cenário global.”

Como é o Fifa Series
Cada grupo reunirá seleções nacionais de diferentes continentes que jogarão entre si, como em amistosos. Os jogos acontecerão em março (homens) e abril (mulheres). A ideia é que cada grupo (ou série) seja dividido entre os países-sede.
No Fifa Series de 2024, foram 6 grupos com quatro seleções cada. As partidas do torneio ocorreram em: Argélia, Azerbaijão, Arábia Saudita, Sri Lanka e Egito.
As seleções mais relevantes foram Egito e Croácia, que se enfrentaram na final do torneio que ficou conhecido como ACUD Cup. Já o único representante da América do Sul foi a Bolívia, que caiu no grupo com Andorra, Argélia e África do Sul.

A participação do Brasil no torneio da Fifa
Entre os homens, a Seleção Brasileira não estará entre os convidados, já que já possui amistosos marcados para a Data Fifa de março, contra França e Croácia.
Já a equipe feminina participará da primeira edição, afinal será uma das sedes. A tendência é que haja a participação de seleções mais fortes entre as mulheres, ao contrário do futebol masculino.
E o grupo brasileiro, ainda sem data e cidade definidos, servirá como uma espécie de teste. Isso porque, o Brasil receberá a Copa do Mundo feminina em 2027.

Rangers move on from 2023 World Series hero Adolis Garcia, C Jonah Heim
Sep 27, 2025; Cleveland, Ohio, USA; Texas Rangers designated hitter Adolis Garcia (53) rounds the bases after hitting a home run against the Cleveland Guardians during the fourth inning at Progressive Field. Mandatory Credit: Ken Blaze-Imagn Images The Texas Rangers parted ways with 2023 World Series hero Adolis Garcia and catcher Jonah Heim on Friday to kickstart a revamping of the franchise. The Rangers non-tendered both players before Friday's deadline as part of the plan to reduce payroll. The players immediately became free agents. Garcia and Heim were both All-Stars in 2023 when the Rangers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks in five games in the World Series. Garcia was MVP of the American League Championship Series and famously belted a 11th-inning walk-off homer to win Game 1 of the World Series. Right-handers Josh Sborz and Jacob Webb were also non-tendered and […]

Wisconsin (4-1) trailed by as many as 32 points in the second half, unable to overcome shooting struggles or sustain momentum after Dybantsa was whistled for his fourth foul with 17:50 to play. The Badgers pulled to within seven points on a Nolan Winter tip-in with 13:22 remaining but the Cougars quickly regained control, responding with a […]
Fantasy Football: 5 last-minute waiver-wire targets before Week 12
Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes With so many key fantasy players injured or on bye weeks, you may find yourself digging deeper on the waiver wire than you ever expected. Here are five players to consider adding from the waiver wire heading into Week 12 if you’re in a pinch due to injury or bye weeks. QB Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers Young had a huge fantasy performance in Week 11 with 31.8 points on the back of 448 passing yards and three passing touchdowns against a tough Atlanta Falcons passing defense, which was allowing the fewest passing yards per game in the NFL entering last week. This week, Young gets a much easier matchup against the depleted San Francisco 49ers defense. The 49ers have allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks since Week 5, behind only the New […]

Lightning, Capitals attempt to avoid emotional letdown
Nov 20, 2025; Montreal, Quebec, CAN; Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin (8) celebrates with teammates after scoring a goal against the Montreal Canadiens during the third period at the Bell Centre. Mandatory Credit: Eric Bolte-Imagn Images The Tampa Bay Lightning and Washington Capitals are coming off incredibly emotional victories as they meet for the final time in the regular season Saturday night in the nation's capital. The Eastern Conference foes would probably like for their respective Thursday night games to have just kept going, though they went about winning in different ways. In its lone road contest during an eight-game stretch, Washington went to Quebec and simply obliterated the Montreal Canadiens 8-4, with seven goals over the final 40 minutes. Alex Ovechkin (10 goals, 10 assists) and Ethen Frank each had four-point outings in the Capitals' third straight win, while […]
