At the beginning of June, the Brazilian Under-17 team faced the United States in two friendlies, winning both by 4 x 0 and 1 x 0, respectively. The person who represented Timão in this call-up was goalkeeper Gustavo Milani, who is not present in the list released this Thursday. With the call-up, Iago Machado could miss Alvinegro in a possible knockout match of the Brasileirão U20, if Timãozinho qualifies.
Born in 2009 (17 years old), Iago Machado is already a starter in the Under-20 category and is the team's second top scorer this season with four goals scored. His outstanding performance meant that, since the beginning of the year, the young man has been participating in training with the main team, becoming involved with Dorival Júnior and Fernando Diniz for matches in the Brazilian Championship and Conmebol Libertadores.
In 2025, he was the second highest scorer in the Under-17 category, with nine goals scored in 38 games. Currently, his contract ends in April 2028 and has a national termination fine of R$66 million and an international fine set at 100 million euros (more than R$600 million).
