Head coach Guilherme Dalla Déa announced this Tuesday (25) the 20 players called up to the Brazil U-15 National Team for the 2026 CONMEBOL Liga Evolución. The competition will be held in Asunción, Paraguay, from September 8 to 20.

The list includes players from 11 clubs: Atlético-MG, Corinthians, Flamengo, Fluminense, Grêmio, Internacional, Palmeiras, Santos, São Paulo, Vasco, and Vitória.

The Brazil National Team are the defending champions of Liga Evolución. Last year, the team lifted the trophy after defeating Argentina (see here).

The call-up comes after a strong run of preparation at Granja Comary. In the two friendlies played against Uruguay (look back here), Brazil won both matches convincingly: 4-0 on Wednesday (19) and 7-0 on Saturday (22).

CONMEBOL Liga Evolución will be the second international competition for this U-15 generation this season. The first was the Vlatko Marković International Tournament, played in May in Croatia (learn more here). The tournament was part of the development process for the generation born from 2011 onward and broadened the group’s experience against different schools of world football.

Head coach Guilherme Dalla Déa highlighted the importance of taking part in the CONMEBOL Liga Evolución for the development of the U-15 generation. This will be the team’s second international experience of the season and will carry even more weight as it is a South American competition.

“It is our second international call-up, now for Liga Evolución. It carries greater significance for us because we know it is a South American competition. For the development of these young athletes, competing at such a high level will be important for the continuation of their careers and, above all, within the Brazil National Team. Today we have a very well-prepared group. There have been five training camps, and we wrapped up the last one with these two matches against Uruguay. We are very confident about representing the Brazil National Team very well in the 2026 Liga Evolución,” the coach said.

Brazil U-15 will make their debut against Colombia on Tuesday, September 8, at 8:40 a.m., at Parque Guasu in Luque, Paraguay.
