Éder Militão at the 2026 World Cup: Brazil

Éder Militão at the 2026 World Cup

Éder Gabriel Militão Pinheiro, better known as Éder Militão is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for La Liga club Real Madrid and the Brazil national team. Éder Militão lines up as Brazil's centre-back, and his job is anchoring the defence.

Brazil go into the tournament as genuine contenders (7.5% to lift the trophy per Polymarket's live market), and if they are to go deep they will need to manage midfield balance, which puts the spotlight squarely on Éder Militão. Alongside Rodrygo, he gives Carlo Ancelotti's side a spine to build around.
