The Seleção completed a one-hour session near Ballymore Stadium, with three late arrivals joining the group on Wednesday.
Brazil's national team worked out with its entire squad for the first time on Wednesday in Brisbane, Australia. The session ran roughly an hour on a practice pitch beside Ballymore Stadium.
Otávio, Arthur Dias, and Vanderson, who landed in Australia earlier the same day, participated in the workout. Reporters on site were permitted to watch the full session.
After training, Rayan, Endrick, and Estêvão greeted supporters who had gathered to observe—some watching from trees—signing autographs and posing for photos.
The team is scheduled for one more practice Thursday morning at Ballymore Stadium. The squad will then fly from Brisbane to Townsville for Friday's match against Australia at Queensland Country Bank Stadium, kicking off at 8 p.m. local time, 7 a.m. in Brasília.
