Rubro-Negro athlete Klebinho leaves this Monday (July 21.07) for Florida, in the United States. The right-back was called up by the Brazilian U-17 team and will begin training for the Mexico Cup of Nations. The competition will take place from August 2 to 8 in Mexico City.

Klebinho, who will turn 16 on the opening day of the championship, is a frequent name in youth squads and participated in the last South American Under-15 Championship in Bolivia. "I'm very happy to be called up again. I want to train hard with the national team so I can continue to have opportunities and be called up regularly. I thank Flamengo for all the opportunities I'm receiving," he said.

The tournament and training in the United States are part of the preparation for the 2015 South American Under-17 Championship in Colombia.
