Fluminense youngster called up by Brazil U15 for international event | OneFootball

Samuell Esperancin, wearing the No. 9 shirt and the top scorer with ten goals for Fluminense’s under-15 team, has been called up to the Brazilian National Team to compete in the Vlatko Markovic International Tournament for the age group. He will represent the Tricolor das Laranjeiras in Croatia from May 19 to 24.

Last Wednesday, Brazil under-15 head coach Guilherme Dalla Déa announced the 22 players called up who will travel to the European country to represent Brazil in the competition. The tournament has been organized by the Croatian Football Federation since 2019, and in this edition, the Seleção have been drawn in Group A, opening against the host nation, Croatia, with England and Japan also in the same group.

The Fluminense academy player has stood out and has steadily racked up goals and call-ups over the years. In the current season alone, Samuell has already scored two hat-tricks, one of them in the Under-15 Copa do Brasil, where he netted all three goals in the 3-0 win over Gama, in addition to scoring the equalizer in the 1-1 draw against Atlético-MG in the competition’s opener.

The young prospect from the Rio club is one of the standout players of the most successful generation in Fluminense’s youth academy in 2024 and 2025, having won four titles in each year and playing a leading role in the unbeaten campaign that secured back-to-back Taça Guanabara titles.
