Brentford striker Igor Thiago celebrated his call-up to the Brazil squad for the 2026 World Cup alongside his family.
A video, which quickly went viral on social media, captured the emotional moment. The former Ludogorets top scorer is seen at home, surrounded by his family and loved ones. Dozens of balloons in green, yellow, blue, and white, along with two Brazilian flags, adorned the room. As coach Carlo Ancelotti announced Thiago's name, everyone erupted in cheers, embracing and congratulating the 24-year-old forward.
A similar video was recorded for his first national team call-up in March. Thiago then featured in friendlies against France and Croatia, even scoring in the latter match. His exceptional season with Brentford, where he netted 25 goals in 39 appearances, earned him a well-deserved spot at the World Cup.
