The Brazilian national team's plane left the United States following their surprise exit from the 2026 World Cup with only one player on board, veteran defender Danilo, in an unusual scene after the end of their journey in the tournament.
The Metropoles newspaper reported that the plane bound for Rio de Janeiro included, in addition to Danilo, a number of members of the technical and medical staff, as well as equipment and massage officials, while the rest of the national team players preferred to go directly from the United States to different destinations to spend their summer vacations.

The report added that Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti was also not with the team, as he had left New Jersey for Vancouver, Canada, where he owns a home.
This scene comes after Brazil's surprising exit from the 2026 World Cup round of 16 against Norway 1-2, in one of the biggest surprises of the tournament, while previous reports confirmed that the Brazilian Football Confederation does not intend to dismiss Ancelotti despite the early elimination.
