Alisson and Ederson have joined the list of Brazilian goalkeepers called up to three World Cups for the national team. Having been part of the 2018 and 2022 editions and this year’s World Cup, they join the group made up of Gilmar Neves, Taffarel, Dida, Júlio César, Carlos, and Waldir Peres.
Wearing the No. 1 shirt, Alisson has played nine World Cup matches, five of them at the 2018 edition in Russia and four in 2022 in Qatar. He is the fourth goalkeeper with the most appearances for the Seleção at World Cups. He trails Júlio César, with 12 matches, Gilmar Neves and Emerson Leão, tied on 14, and the leader in the statistic, Taffarel, with 18 matches.
"It is a great honor to be able to represent my country! A privilege, accompanied by the immense responsibility of wearing this shirt! We will fight with all our strength in pursuit of our long-dreamed-of sixth star," celebrated the Rio Grande do Sul native from Novo Hamburgo on his social media after his call-up was confirmed.
