Neymar's No. 10 jersey is now Raphinha's
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.
