Moleques de Xerém will join 23 other players until January 28th, when the preparation period focused on Brazil’s technical and tactical development in future competitions ends.

Top scorer in the second undefeated Morozov Cup U-15 championship in 2025, Jean Carlos returns to defend Canarinho, after having scored the goal of the South American title and being top scorer and best player in winning the Copa Dois de Julho. Both undefeated.

Crystian Gabriel and Lucas Suzano, in turn, will make their debut with Amarelinha. The first even secured the top scorer in last year’s Copa Rio U-15 title. The kids also became undefeated champions of the Guanabara Cup.

It is worth remembering that the club ended last season with 12 called up between the four youth teams in the country. There were representatives in all sectors of the field and in other victorious campaigns, such as the South American Under-17 Championship, in addition to the category’s World Cup competition.
