Flamengo had six athletes from its under-15 soccer team called up to the Brazilian National Team by coach Cláudio Caçapa on Wednesday (19.11). The national team will compete in the BH Cup. In October, the Rubro-Negro managed to beat the Brazilian team in a friendly match, even with five starters wearing the yellow jersey.

The players called up are: Patrick da Silva (defender); Athirson and Wesley (full-backs); Leandro da Silva (midfielder); and Lincoln Corrêa and Vinícius (forwards). All of the players are still of age for the U-14 squad, but they have another opportunity to gain experience and develop for the future.
