Botafogo faces a crucial period in May before the World Cup break, with only one home match remaining against Corinthians. Under coach Franclim Carvalho, the team will play away fixtures in the Copa do Brasil against Chapecoense and national tournaments against São Paulo and Bahia, while also competing in the South American Cup. The squad is challenged by injuries and potential transfers, alongside political and financial instability, including a debt to Lyon and FIFA sanctions. Despite these issues, players Vitinho and Danilo have been named in Brazil’s preliminary World Cup squad.
