On Thursday (September 24), the CBF released Brazil's jersey numbers for the upcoming friendly matches against Australia and India. In the list, number 10 is next to Raphinha's name.
Neymar last wore Brazil's No. 10 jersey at the 2026 World Cup. He also had this number on his back in the 2014, 2018 and 2022 World Cups. However, in Neymar's absence, Raphinha also wore No. 10 in the 2024 World Cup qualifying matches against Venezuela and Uruguay.
This time, Estevao has received Raphinha's old No. 11 jersey. Vinicius Junior remains at No. 7, and Endrick has received the No. 9 jersey.
In the new cycle, wearing the No. 10 jersey left by Neymar is a big responsibility for Raphinha. Brazil's new international campaign will begin with a friendly match against Australia at 4 pm Bangladesh time today. The second match between the two teams is on September 29, and on October 3, Carlo Ancelotti's team will play against India in Kolkata.
