🇧🇷 Brazil set to arrange friendlies against South Korea and Japan
The first opponent for Ancelotti's squad is expected to be South Korea, on October 10, a Friday, in Seoul.
And the second commitment for the National Team should be against Japan, on October 14, a Tuesday, in Tokyo.
The information is from GE. The official confirmation of these friendlies depends on bureaucratic and commercial issues.
Before, the Brazilian National Team - already guaranteed in the 2026 World Cup - will play twice for the Qualifiers.
Brazil will host Chile (September 4, Thursday, at Maracanã) and will visit Bolivia (September 9, Tuesday, at 8:30 pm).

2025 English Premier League Predictions: Ranking the Top 6 Teams
English Premier League 2025 English Premier League Predictions: Ranking the Top 6 Teams Updated Aug. 13, 2025 2:35 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link With the 2026 FIFA World Cup under a year away, all eyes will be on the upcoming English Premier League campaign. The EPL is home to some of the biggest and brightest stars in world soccer, many of whom will star for their countries in next summer's 48-team tournament in Canada, Mexico and the United States. EUROPE'S BEST TEAMS: WHERE BARCELONA, PSG, LIVERPOOL RANK AMONG TOP 20 Liverpool lifted the Premier League trophy last season after an outstanding 84-point season and added more attacking talent this season with big-money transfers for Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz. But is this the year Arsenal finally lift the trophy? Can Manchester City reclaim their throne? Let's take a look at the top of the Premier League and where each team ranks entering the season: Note: League positions reflect last season's finish. 1 Liverpool 1st, Premier League Last year, the Reds ran away with the Premier League title, besting second-place Arsenal by 10 points. Despite the tragic death of forward Diogo Jota, Liverpool has only gotten better this summer. Arne Slot's side has been the big winner of this transfer window, dropping north of $350 million on backup keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, defenders Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez, and forwards Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz. No wonder they're the favorites to retain the English title. 2 Chelsea 4th, Premier League After finishing fourth in the Prem last term, the Blues stunned many by winning the expanded, 32-team Club World Cup in July. Can they harness that momentum and use it to challenge for English and European titles next spring? They've got the firepower. Chelsea already have an emerging superstar in winger Cole Palmer — this season he'll be supported by new recruits like strikers Liam Delap and João Pedro, Pedro's fellow Brazilian attacker Estêvão, and English forward Jamie Gittens. ADVERTISEMENT 3 Arsenal 2nd, Premier League The Premier League runner-up in each of the last three seasons, what Mikel Arteta's team is missing at this point are trophies. Still, Arsenal continues to improve. The Gunners knocked then-Champions League holders Real Madrid out of Europe's top club tournament last April, snaring a convincing 5-1 aggregate win. And they've added real quality this summer in the form of defensive midfielder Martín Zubimendi and forwards Viktor Gyökeres and Noni Madueke. City's unprecedented run of four consecutive Premier League titles came to a halt last season, when Pep Guardiola's side finished third, lost the FA Cup final to Crystal Palace, and were eliminated from European play before the Champions League's round of 16 even began. This team is too good not to bounce back in a big way this year, though — even without club legend Kevin de Bruyne, whose contract wasn't extended. 5 Newcastle 5th, Premier League The Magpies eked into the Champions League places last term only because UEFA granted England's top flight one additional spot. Newcastle fans aren't complaining though, though they will be if and when star forward Alexander Isak leaves for Liverpool on the eve of the new season. 6 Manchester Utd 15th, Premier League It's hard to believe that the 20-time English champions finished 15th last season, when they also lost the Europa League final to Premier League rivals Tottenham. But the Red Devils added forwards Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Šeško this window, and they should fare better in Ruben Amorim's first full season at the Old Trafford helm.

'He's a bit of a mouth' - locals react to Vance visit
The vice president of the United States has been labelled "a bit of a mouth" after holidaying with his family in an English country manor this week. JD Vance used the break in the peaceful Cotswolds to relax with his family, go fishing with the foreign Secretary and make the trip to RAF Fairford where US Air Force personnel are based. The security that comes with having such a high-profile guest in the manor, plus Mr Vance's outspoken nature, has not gone down well with some residents. "He's a bit of a mouth - to put it politely as possible," said Josh Packford. "I think he thought he was going to be a bit more important than he really is," Mr Packford added. The visit has meant a lot of changes to village life with road closures, ID checks and 20-vehicle motorcades Resident Shelley Walsh said while some Americans might be pleased to see him, "I don't think the locals are too happy about the roads being closed." More news stories for Gloucestershire Listen to the latest news for Gloucestershire JD Vance has been more outspoken than many other vice presidents since coming to office in January. In February, he was seen to lead an attack on Ukraine's President Volodomyr Zelensky, in an extraordinary meeting in the Oval Office. Moments like this have earned him a reputation that has not endeared him to some in the Cotswolds. "A lot of people are not particularly keen on Trump unfortunately," said Danielle Swann. "I think because of that a lot of people are going to see the vice president coming here as a bad thing." Not all residents were entirely negative about the visit. "It's a shame he hasn't popped in to see us on the market today, he could've got some nice local produce to eat," said James Fallows, a market trader in Fairford. Richard Bennett added: "He's probably doing a bit of fishing and a bit of golfing while he's here and I'm sure it's a total waste of taxpayers money but we'd make him welcome here as everyone does in the Cotswolds." 'This is a beautiful country' Mr Vance also took the opportunity to meet members of the US military at RAF Fairford - where the United States Air Force's 501st Combat Support Wing and the 99th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron are currently stationed. During the visit, Vance was briefed on the base's capabilities and addressed personnel. "I'm pretty jealous, this is a pretty fine duty station," he said to the assembled troops. "This is a beautiful country - I've had some downtime with the family and we've had a very good time here in England - the United Kingdom is of course one of our great allies," he added. "We are proud of the special relationship and we are proud to work together with our British friends right here at Fairford." Mr Vance is expected to continue his holiday with a trip to Scotland.

Ireland squad named for Women's T20 Euro qualifier
Ireland have named their 14-strong squad for the Women's T20 World Cup European Qualifier in Rotterdam, which runs from 20-27 August. Hosts Netherlands, Italy, and Germany will provide the opposition with Ireland playing each nation twice in a round robin format. The top two will progress to the Global Qualifier in Nepal which will contain 10 teams. Gaby Lewis, who was nominated for the ICC Women's player of the Month for July, will captain the side with Orla Prendergast named vice captain, having recently risen to sixth position in the T20 all-rounders list. Ireland swept a three-game series against Zimbabwe in July before a 2-1 series win against Pakistan with the only change from the latter squad seeing Alana Dalzell replacing Louise Little. The squad contains plenty of experience as Lewis and Laura Delany have already reached the 100 cap mark, while Prendergast, Rebecca Stockell, Leah Paul, Cara Murray and Arlene Kelly have surpassed 50. Amy Hunter will join this club should she start the opening game against Germany on 20 August. Two members of the squad have the chance to become the first Irish woman to achieve the double of 1500 runs and 50 wickets in the T20 format with Delany 21 runs away and Predergast 54 short. "Qualifier campaigns are notoriously tough, with fixtures coming thick and fast," said Ireland selector, Ciara O'Brien. "The squad we have chosen, while relatively young in age, have almost 650 caps collectively in the T20I format, so have plenty of experience to draw upon. This experience, as well as a recent hard-fought series win over Pakistan, have the players in a good place and eager to take the first steps towards World Cup qualification." T20 World Cup European Qualifier squad Gaby Lewis (captain), Ava Canning, Christina Coulter Reilly, Alana Dalzell, Laura Delany, Amy Hunter, Arlene Kelly, Jane Maguire, Lara McBride, Cara Murray, Leah Paul, Orla Prendergast, Freya Sargent, Rebecca Stokell Ireland's fixtures 20 August: Ireland v Germany (14.45 BST) 21 August: Ireland v Netherlands (10:00 BST) 23 August: Ireland v Italy (10:00 BST) 24 August: Ireland v Germany (10:00 BST) 26 August: Ireland v Netherlands (14.45 BST) 27 August: Ireland v Italy (14.45 BST) Get cricket news sent straight to your phone
