Corinthians goalkeeper called up by Brazil for Under-20 World Cup | OneFootball

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has announced the squad for the U-20 World Cup, which takes place starting at the end of October. Among those called up by coach Ramon Menezes is goalkeeper Felipe Longo, a standout from Corinthians’ youth academy and currently the immediate backup to Hugo Souza.

Longo made a name for himself with the Seleção at the beginning of this year, when the team qualified for the World Cup by winning the South American U-20 Championship. Breno Bidon was also part of that squad, but was not called up by the CBF for the main youth national team competition.

In addition to Felipe Longo, other players developed by Corinthians are in the squad. Forwards Pedro and Wesley, currently at Zenit-RUS and Al Nasr-SAU, are also on the released list. Another Terrão product who was part of the cycle but is not on the squad is Gabriel Moscardo, whose call-up was blocked by Braga, from Portugal.

Brazil’s debut in the competition will be on October 28, against Mexico, starting at 8 p.m. (Brasília time). The national team will also face Morocco and Spain, aiming to qualify for the knockout stage of the tournament. In the last edition, the campaign was disappointing, with elimination by Israel.
