On the afternoon of this Wednesday (6), Brazil Under-15 national team head coach Guilherme Dalla Déa announced the 22 players called up to represent the Seleção at the Vlatko Marković International Tournament, in Croatia, which will take place between May 19 and 24. The competition is organized by the Croatian Football Federation and has been held since 2019.

Among the players selected for the tournament are two Corinthians athletes: midfielder Lucas Splichal and forward Igor Macedo. The duo had already been called up to represent Brazil at this level in February. The Seleção is in Group A alongside Croatia, England, and Japan.

Brazil will make its debut in the tournament on May 19. Then, the very next day (20), they will face England. On May 22, they will take on Japan. Group B, meanwhile, features South Korea, the United States, Portugal, and Switzerland.

It is worth noting that the Under-15 squad is one of the most promising at Parque São Jorge. In 2025, they won the Mina Cup, Paulista Cup, and Copa Votorantim, while reaching the semifinals of the state championship in their age group. In 2026, Timãozinho is in the Paulista Cup final and opened the state campaign with a win, beating Terceiro Milênio 5-1 at Fazendinha.

In that match, Igor Macedo scored a goal and provided two assists. Splichal was a starter and captain of the Corinthians team. The head coach is Eduardo Vergueiro.
