Atlético have three called up to Brazil’s under-17 squad | OneFootball

Atlético once again showed the strength of its Academy on the national stage. Full-back Samuel Almeida, midfielder Vinícius Almeida, and forward Riquelme were called up to Brazil’s Under-17 National Team for a training period ahead of the South American Championship in the category.

Galo was one of the clubs with the most players called up on the list released by the youth national team, alongside Athletico-PR and Vasco da Gama, both of which also had three representatives.

The call-up comes amid Galinho’s excellent run this season. The team is close to reaching the final of the Under-17 Copa do Brasil, reinforcing the leading role of Atlético’s Academy categories in 2026.
