📋 Botafogo line-up: aiming to stay perfect in Cariocão 2026

Botafogo returns to the field this Sunday (18th) at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), when they visit Sampaio Corrêa at the Lourivaldão Stadium in Saquarema, in the Região dos Lagos, for the second round of the Cariocão 2026.

The Glorioso shares the lead of Group B with Nova Iguaçu, as well as Madureira and Boavista.

Flamengo (with three games and one point) and Maricá (zero points) complete the group.

Botafogo will still field a team mainly composed of young players from the youth academy and still without coach Martín Anselmi.

Therefore, compared to the last game (2-0 against Portuguesa), coach Rodrigo Bellão chose only to bring in Rogério in place of Kadu for the Glorioso.
