The friendlies against the Uruguayans will serve as preparation for the Conmebol Liga Evolución, which will take place in September in Paraguay. In May, the duo from Filhos do Terrão was part of the title-winning squad at the Vlatko Markovic International Tournament in Croatia. On that occasion, the Seleção finished in second place after losing to Portugal on penalties following a 2-2 draw in regular time.

According to a note released by the CBF, the players called up to represent the Brazil U-15 team will report to Rio de Janeiro on the 13th for the start of training. The Timão duo’s presence on the list comes at the same time as Filhos do Terrão’s strong form in 2026 – under the command of Edu Vergueiro.

At the moment, the Corinthians team sits second in Group 12 of the Paulista Championship in the category with 27 points – nine wins and two losses, along with 42 goals scored and eight conceded. Group leaders Ibrachina have 28.
