Raphinha Takes Brazil's No.10 Shirt After Neymar's Exit
Raphinha, a forward for Barcelona, has inherited the prestigious no.10 shirt for the Brazilian national team after Neymar Jr announced his retirement from international football. Neymar decided to step away from representing the Selecao following his participation in the 2026 World Cup.
The Confederation of Brazilian Football confirmed that Raphinha will wear the iconic number during upcoming exhibition fixtures scheduled in Oceania and Asia. Additionally, Endrick will assume the number nine jersey, previously held by Matheus Cunha, who was not selected for this international break.
This transition marks a significant moment in Brazilian football as Raphinha takes on a role traditionally associated with some of the greatest players in the sport's history.
