Coach Paulo Victor has called up 27 players for the Brazil Under-20 national team to participate in friendly matches against Peru. The matches are scheduled for November 13 and 16 at the Mangueirão stadium in Belém, Pará.

Clubs Palmeiras and Atlético Mineiro lead the selection, providing three players each. Other notable call-ups include Flamengo goalkeeper Léo Nannetti and attacker Robinho Jr. from Genoa. These friendlies serve as a final evaluation period before the coaching staff selects the official roster for the 2027 South American Championship.

The squad will begin training on November 9 at the Paysandu training center. Coach Paulo Victor noted that the team is showing rapid tactical assimilation and a developing identity during this recent work cycle.
