In June 2021, he received his first call-up to the Brazil national team, amidst the 2021 Copa América on home soil, to replace injured defender Felipe for the quarter-finals onward. He became the first Bragantino player to be summoned to the national team since 1994, and the first to be called since Red Bull took over the club. Bragantino was leading the 2021 Brasileirao at the moment of the summoning.[6] Brazil finished the continental championship as runners-up.
