One of the representatives of Brazilian football in Carlo Ancelotti's call-up, Kaio Jorge, from Cruzeiro, will wear the Brazilian national team jersey for the first time. Top scorer in the Brazilian Championship, the player is one of the highlights of the 2025 season so far.
Top scorer in the Brazilian Championship, Kaio Jorge is living his best phase at Cruzeiro since his return to Brazil. Called up to the main team for the first time, the number 19 had only worn the "Amarelinha" for the youth categories.
Despite Carlo Ancelotti's call-up being his first experience in the main team, Kaio Jorge has already lived through historic moments for Brazil's youth categories, such as the 2019 Under-17 World Cup title.
Besides Kaio Jorge, Brazilian football had three more representatives on Carlo Ancelotti's list for the Brazilian national team. One of them is defender Fabrício Bruno, the attacker's teammate at Cruzeiro.
The other two are goalkeeper Hugo Souza, from Corinthians, and left-back Alex Sandro, from Flamengo. The Brazilian national team will take the field for the last rounds of the World Cup qualifiers on September 4 and 9, against Chile and Bolivia, respectively.
