Raphinha, Barcelona forward has been handed Brazil’s famous No. 10 shirt following Neymar’s departure from international football.
The Confederation of Brazilian Football confirmed that Raphinha will wear the iconic jersey during Brazil’s upcoming friendly matches in Oceania and Asia.
The move follows Neymar’s decision to end his international career after representing Brazil at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Raphinha, who has become an important part of Brazil’s attack, will now carry the number previously associated with Neymar and other legendary Brazilian players.
Meanwhile, Endrick has been assigned Brazil’s No. 9 shirt for the upcoming fixtures.
The Real Madrid forward takes over the number from Matheus Cunha, who was left out of the squad for the current international break.
