After the call-up, last Monday (26), at a hotel in Rio de Janeiro, Ancelotti visited the Brazilian national team museum, at the CBF headquarters.
The 65-year-old Italian coach is seeking an "immersion" in Brazilian football and is expected to be a regular presence in the country's major stadiums.
On Wednesday (28), Don Carleto is expected to be at the Maracanã, for Flamengo x Deportivo Táchira, in the Libertadores, and at the Neo Química Arena, on Sunday (1), for Corinthians x Vitória, in the Brasileirão.
Alex Telles and Igor Jesus, from Botafogo, were on Ancelotti's "pre-list" but were not called up for the next Brazilian national team commitments.

Israeli drone strike kills 1 person, wounds 3 near Beirut
BEIRUT, Lebanon, July 3 (UPI) -- An Israeli drone struck a car on Thursday as it was driving along a highway at the southern entrance of Beirut, killing one person and wounding three others, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. The Israeli Army claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that it targeted a "terrorist" working for Iran's Quds Force and involved in smuggling weapons. The drone fired one first missile, but missed the targeted car on the Khaled highway south of Beirut, prompting the driver to slow down and stop on the side of the road. A second missile hit and destroyed the car, killing the driver, who was identified as Qassem al-Husseini, according to witnesses on the scene and local reports. The Lebanese Health Ministry confirmed that one person was killed, and three others were injured. Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee said in a post on X that the Israeli military carried out a strike in Lebanon targeting "a terrorist involved in weapons smuggling and plotting attacks against Israeli civilians and Army forces on behalf of the Iranian Quds Force." The Quds Force is an elite unit within Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, tasked with overseeing the country's foreign operations and supporting proxy groups across the Middle East. The Israeli English-language website described the attack as an "unusual move deep inside Lebanon." Hezbollah's run al Manar website reported that the Israeli strike hit "a civilian car with two missiles," inflicting several casualties. It gave no further details. Shortly afterward, Israeli warplanes carried out at least eight strikes on suspected Hezbollah positions in valleys near the Litani River in southern Lebanon. Ambulances rushed to the targeted sites, but there were no immediate details on casualties. Israel has continued striking southern Lebanon and other areas of the country since the Nov. 27 ceasefire accord, which was brokered by the United States and France to end a 14-month war between Hezbollah and Israel. The ongoing strikes, which Israel claims to target suspected Hezbollah positions, have killed more than 200 Lebanese civilians and Hezbollah field commanders since the ceasefire went into effect Feb. 18. Israel also refused to fully withdraw and retained five strategic positions inside south Lebanon and pledged to continue striking Lebanon to force the full disarmament of Hezbollah. In line with the cease-fire agreement, the Lebanese Army has taken control of most of Hezbollah's positions and military facilities, pushing the militant group away from the border with Israel and preventing it from having a military presence south of the Litani River. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has also initiated a one-to-one dialogue with Hezbollah to discuss ways of securing its total disarmament per the cease-fire terms. Hezbollah, which has repeatedly resisted disarming and insisted on Israel's full withdrawal from south Lebanon, was expected to comment on a draft document prepared by the Lebanese authorities in response to U.S. demands concerning disarming Hezbollah and other armed groups in Lebanon. U.S. ambassador to Turkey and special envoy to Syria Thomas Barrack, who conveyed the American. conditions during a trip to Beirut on June 19, was expected back in Lebanon next week for follow-up discussions on the matter with the Lebanese officials. The United States also has urged Lebanon to improve ties with Syria and implement necessary and well-needed reforms to unlock funds for reconstruction and help solve its acute financial crisis. The Hezbollah-Israel war has killed or wounded more than 20,000 people since October 2023, when it started in support of Gaza. The Israelis' relentless strikes and bombardment caused widespread destruction estimated by the World Bank at $11 billion.

Erling Haaland shows class with Diogo Jota tribute after Liverpool star's tragic death
Erling Haaland is one of the latest soccer stars to pay a heartfelt tribute to Liverpool forward Diogo Jota following his death in Spain. Jota lost his life in a car accident alongside his brother Andre in the early hours of Thursday morning. Local media first broke the news of Jota's passing before an official statement from Liverpool confirmed the death of the club's No. 20 and his younger sibling. Advertisement A number of players from the Premier League and beyond have taken to social media, with Manchester City man Haaland posting a photo of Jota and an emotional caption on his Instagram story. READ MORE: Diogo Jota broke down barriers, embodied Liverpool and never looked back on first promise READ MORE: Roberto Firmino remembers Diogo Jota in emotional Instagram post Along with a black and white image of the Portuguese international, Haaland wrote to his 38 million followers: "RIP Diogo, way too soon." Jota and Haaland had found themselves on opposite sides of one of the biggest Premier League rivalries of recent years, with Liverpool and City often battling it out at the top of the Premier League. Advertisement Last season, it was the Reds who came out on top, taking back the Premier League crown after the Manchester club had one the previous four. Jota played his part in securing a record 20th English league title, playing 26 times and scoring six goals throughout the campaign. He last featured out on the field just last month, helping his native Portugal win the UEFA Nations League final against Spain in Germany. Jota did so alongside arguably his country's greatest ever player in Cristiano Ronaldo, who like Haaland paid tribute to the striker online. Ronaldo wrote: "It doesn't make sense. Just now we were together in the National Team, just now you got married. To your family, your wife, and your children, I send my condolences and wish them all the strength in the world. I know you will always be with them. Rest in Peace, Diogo and André. We will all miss you." Advertisement The Portugal captain's emotional tribute came after Liverpool confirmed the news of Jota's passing to their fans online. "Liverpool Football Club are devastated by the tragic passing of Diogo Jota," a club statement read on Thursday. "The club have been informed the 28-year-old has passed away following a road traffic accident in Spain along with his brother, Andre. "Liverpool FC will be making no further comment at this time and request the privacy of Diogo and Andre's family, friends, teammates and club staff is respected as they try to come to terms with an unimaginable loss." Diogo Jota lifted the Premier League title at the end of the season Haaland's City was one of the first Premier League clubs to pay their own tribute to the Liverpool No. 20, as the former Premier League champions wrote: "Everyone at Manchester City is shocked and saddened to learn about the devastating news regarding the passing of Diogo Jota. "We send our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends and everyone at Liverpool Football Club at this difficult time. Rest in peace, Diogo." Similar tributes have been paid by Liverpool's Merseyside neighbors, Everton, as well as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea.

‘Destructive': Educators blast new Mass. admission lottery for vocational schools
Students should not be selected for admission to vocational-technical schools in Massachusetts by lottery, a panel of state educators said Tuesday. The panel, consisting of school and business leaders in cities including Brockton, Springfield and Worcester, preferred the previous system of selection based on interviews, grades and recommendations. Panelist Timothy Murray, Worcester Chamber of Commerce president and CEO, argued that a lottery system penalizes students who work hard to earn good grades, suggesting that their educational fate is being determined by chance. 'It is unfortunate and not where we need to be going,' Murray said. The Massachusetts Vocational Technical Coalition, along with the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Pioneer Institute, hosted a forum about the state's vocational-technical admission policy in the Worcester Chamber of Commerce building on Tuesday. The five panel members all criticized the state's new admission policy, which bans the use of interviews, grades, or recommendations to decide whether an incoming high school student can be enrolled in a vocational-technical high school or high school program. Some advocates of voc-tech schools have previously said that the past criteria for enrollment lead to a disproportionate exclusion of special needs students, economically disadvantaged students, students of color and English language learners in schools. The new policy, approved by the state's Department of Elementary and Secondary Education on May 20, will implement a weighted lottery system for Career and Technical Education programs that have more applicants than available seats, according to the Massachusetts Executive Office of Education. Kevin McCaskill, who previously worked in Springfield, said the state's decision would destroy industries that benefit from having students attend voc-tech schools and programs that focus on subjects such as plumbing and electrical engineering. He said the previous systems, which were determined on a district-by-district basis, helped create healthy competition for middle school students who worked hard to become better in their respective trades and academics. 'If we can start raising the standards of our middle schools, raising awareness of the parents, that creates a healthy base of future employers,' McCaskill said. Gov. Maura Healey's administration proposed the lottery system, and members of her cabinet, including the Governor herself, approved of the system. In a statement on May 20, Healey said the lottery helps increase access for eighth graders who want to obtain a vocational-technical education. 'While we continue to increase the number of seats in career technical education schools, we know that there are still more applicants than openings at many of the schools,' Healey said. 'Today's vote will help give all eighth graders more knowledge of their options and a better chance at being admitted to these schools.' The panel disagreed with Healey, with Gerson Monteiro calling the proposed lottery system 'more destructive than helpful.' The heavy demand for vocational-technical schools and programs has resulted in students being stuck on waiting lists, according to the panel members. Murray suggested that a solution to this problem could be to establish universal access to career and technical education programs at non-vocational technical schools. The new voc-tech lottery system is scheduled to start during the 2026-2027 school year but there is a possibility the system may not go into effect at all. Tucked within the Massachusetts House of Representatives' proposed budget for FY2026 is an amendment that would prevent changes to the admissions policy and establish a task force to study and make recommendations on vocational school admissions. The amendment would be approved if the House bill is passed. The bill is currently in conference committee, where lawmakers reconcile differences between a bill passed by the House and a bill passed by the Senate. It is unclear whether the final budget bill will have this amendment.
