Barcelona have acknowledged they cannot prevent Raphinha from joining the Brazil national team after the forward was called up for upcoming fixtures. The club's reaction, described as "Nothing we can do," highlights the mandatory nature of international call-ups under FIFA regulations.
Raphinha featured for Brazil in a friendly against Australia on September 25, 2026, at Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville. The match served as preparation for Brazil's upcoming competitive schedule.
The 26-year-old winger has been a regular for both club and country, and his latest selection continues his involvement with the Seleção.
