Corinthians keeper called up again by Carlo Ancelotti for the Brazil squad | OneFootball

On the afternoon of this Monday, 25, the coach of the Brazilian National Team Carlo Ancelotti made another call for the Yellow Team, this time for the team's matches on September 4 and 9, against Chile, at Maracanã, and Bolivia, in El Alto, for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. And on the list is the goalkeeper of Corinthians, Hugo Souza, thus returning to be one of the goalkeepers chosen by the Italian.

This is the third time that Hugo Souza has been called up for the National Team. The first time happened in 2018, when the player was called up by Tite for the friendlies against El Salvador and the USA. The second time occurred this year, in Ancelotti's inaugural call as coach, in June, for the matches against Ecuador and Paraguay in the Qualifiers.

Before Hugo Souza, the last Timão's goalkeeper called up by the Brazilian National Team was Cássio, an idol of the Black and White, who played in the 2018 World Cup and was also part of the group that won the 2019 Copa America. Among the outfield players, the last Corinthians player called up was Yuri Alberto, in March 2023.

Before defending the Yellow Team, however, Hugo Souza will have two more commitments with the black and white shirt. The goalkeeper will defend Timão in the Brazil Cup, in an away game against Athletico-PR this Wednesday, 27, and also in the Brazilian Championship, in the Derby against Palmeiras that takes place at Neo Química Arena next Sunday, 31.
