Grêmio is in a period of reflection as the Brasileirão schedule pauses for the World Cup. Under manager Luís Castro, the team successfully qualified for the Copa do Brasil round of 16 and is currently in 16th place, narrowly avoiding the relegation zone.

Several players have stood out, including Carlos Vinicius, who leads the team with 17 goals this season, and goalkeeper Weverton, who secured a spot on Brazil's World Cup roster.
