Coach Carlo Ancelotti visited the Brazilian National Team Museum on the morning of Tuesday (27) and toured the CBF headquarters in Barra da Tijuca, West Zone of Rio de Janeiro.
Together with Samir Xaud, president of the CBF, and Rodrigo Caetano, general executive coordinator of the men's national teams, he walked past the historic yellow jerseys and saw up close the statues of Pelé and Marta, King and Queen of Football, respectively, as well as the greatest world champion, former player and coach Zagallo.
Afterwards, he took a good look at the five World Cup trophies and jokingly gestured that "there's room for one more."
The Italian coach also got to know his office at the headquarters and received a warm welcome from the CBF president:
- Mister, welcome, this is your home, the CBF is your home, welcoming you with open arms. I am honored to receive you - said Samir Xaud.

New state nonprofit launched to help Rhode Island score big in 2026 World Cup
Rhode Island officials have launched a new nonprofit, Ocean State 2026, to take advantage of tourism during the 2026 World Cup matches at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, pictured. (Photo by Christopher Shea/Rhode Island Current) State officials are forming a new nonprofit to help maximize local tourism and economic development for the state from the 2026 World Cup, which includes matches at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. Ocean State 2026 will be led by Rhode Island Commerce Secretary Liz Tanner, who is stepping down from her cabinet position to spearhead the efforts of the new nonprofit. Rhode Island General Treasurer James Diossa will serve as chair of the nonprofit board of directors. The preparations come a year before an estimated 1 million international soccer fans are expected to travel through the Providence metro area during the seven World Cup matches hosted at Gillette, from June 13 to July 9. The Boston-area stadium is one of 16 host cities for the three-country, 48-match tournament, which spans North America. The Massachusetts matches are expected to generate more than $330 million in local economic impact, according to Gov. Dan McKee's office. Ocean State 2026 will lead business sponsorship efforts on tournament-related activities in Rhode Island while serving as a central organizer between state and local agencies, chambers of commerce, tourism bureaus and the FIFA World Cup Boston host committee before, during and after the tournament. 'Next year's international soccer matches at Gillette Stadium will bring thousands of tourists, spending millions of dollars in our cities and towns,' Diossa said in a statement. 'It truly offers an unprecedented opportunity to showcase our state while maximizing economic impact. This is bigger than soccer; it's about investing in our state's future and ensuring every community gets to benefit.' While Diossa will remain in his elected general officer role, Tanner is leaving her $238,600-a-year appointed job as Commerce secretary, which she has held since June 2022. Tanner in a statement said she looked forward to continuing to serve the state in her new role, which she called a 'once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.' Tanner's career in state government dates back to 2015, when she began working in client services for Commerce. From 2017 to 2022, she led the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation, overseeing state financial services, cannabis regulation, building code and compliance and the Office of the State Fire Marshal, alongside a variety of professional licenses. During her three years as Commerce secretary, she oversaw expansion of broadband infrastructure through a $100 million federal grant program, alongside small business supports, including those to aid business owners affected by the Washington Bridge closure and demolition. Her last day as Commerce secretary will be July 4. An interim secretary will be named by that time, McKee's office said. Information about the search and appointment for a new, permanent Commerce secretary was not immediately available. Matt Touchette, a spokesperson for Commerce, declined to share Tanner's new salary with Ocean State 2026, noting that the nonprofit does not rely on state funding.

Alaska Airlines reveals its first European destination
Alaska Airlines is making its first foray into the European travel market, announcing Tuesday it will launch new flights to and from Rome, Italy, beginning in May 2026. The introduction of the new route marks the first time travelers will be able to fly nonstop from the airline's hub in Seattle, Washington, to Italy on any airline, according to Alaska Air. Customers will fly on Boeing 787-9 aircraft the carrier obtained when it merged with Hawaiian Airlines in 2023. The new route is part of Alaska Air's push to expand its global reach. The airline intends to serve 12 global destinations on multiple continents by 2030, CEO Ben Minicucci told CBS News last month. Alaska Air will operate four weekly flights to Rome traveling in each direction. Flights to Rome will leave Seattle at 6 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, arriving in the Italian capital at 1:45 p.m. local time the next day. Flights from Rome to Seattle will depart Italy at 3:45 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, arriving in Seattle at 6 p.m. Tickets will go on sale beginning in the fall. The airline said it selected Rome as its first European destination because it's one of the "most-requested" destinations among its reward members.
