Vinicius Júnior has made it clear that his team is heading to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America with exactly one objective: winning the whole thing.
Underdog energy from a five-time champion
In comments from March 2026, Vini Jr. offered a candid assessment of where Brazil stands on the global stage. He acknowledged that based on recent results, Brazil isn’t considered the favorite to lift the trophy.
“Brazil isn’t the favourite based on the results we’ve had.”
Brazil’s 2022 World Cup campaign ended in the quarterfinals. Vini Jr. was part of that squad, contributing one goal and one assist across four matches before Croatia sent them packing on penalties.
