2026-06-23 · Richarlison · Club News

Richarlison is seeking his second World Cup appearance after playing in Qatar 2022.

He is going through a difficult period at Tottenham Hotspur, which is in the relegation zone in the Premier League.

His enthusiasm remains undiminished, and he has already made a **striking promise** should he be called up by Carlo Ancelotti.

Richarlison said "If I play in the next World Cup, **I'll leave my phone** at home," as a promise to focus on the tournament.

He has played in 54 matches for the Brazilian national team, with a tally of 20 goals and eight assists.

At Tottenham, his numbers are more modest: 10 goals in 37 matches, as of the current season.

Ancelotti's final call-up will be announced on May 18, and not only Richarlison is in doubt: Neymar is also awaiting confirmation.

Brazil will debut on June 13 in New Jersey, then play against Haiti on the 19th in Philadelphia, and close the group stage on the 24th against Scotland in Miami.

Richarlison's absence in the friendlies in March against France and Croatia raised alarms.

He confessed that he wants to leave behind distractions and personal problems that affected him in the past.

And he acknowledged that he **had to deal with family and personal matters** that affected his concentration.

But his trajectory with the Canarinha includes **54 matches**: 24 friendlies, 16 World Cup qualifiers, 10 Copa América, and four in World Cups.

So the Brazilian forward is aiming to make a strong impression in the 2026 World Cup.

Brazil will share **Group C** with Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland.

The team is seeking its sixth star in the World Cup.

And Richarlison is hoping to be a part of it, with his promise to focus on the tournament.

He has played minutes in four of the five matches for the Verdeamarela in the 2022 World Cup.

But his current situation reflects a **complex scenario**, both on an individual and a team level.

"I had to deal with family and personal matters that affected my concentration," he acknowledged in an interview with France Football.

Richarlison is 28 years old and seeking to make a strong impression in the 2026 World Cup.

The Brazilian national team will face strong competition in the group stage.

But with Richarlison's promise to focus on the tournament, the team may have a chance to shine.

The 2026 World Cup will take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

And Richarlison is hoping to be a part of it, with his place on the Brazilian national team in doubt.

He has already made a **striking promise** should he be called up by Carlo Ancelotti.
