The 2026 World Cup is scheduled to be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico during June and July.
Argentina currently holds the title, having secured victory in the last tournament held in Qatar.
However, Ancelotti stated that he envisions a final showdown between Brazil and Italy at the 2026 World Cup.
The Italian coach remarked, via Calciomercato: “The dream is to see Brazil claim their sixth World Cup title. There are immense expectations, along with significant enthusiasm. The fact that they haven't won in 24 years weighs heavily on us.
“We hope it doesn’t extend to 28 years! We are determined to win, and we aren’t shy about it. Personally, I would love to see a final between Brazil and Italy; it would be incredibly meaningful for me on an emotional level.”
