This is Otávio's first call-up to the Brazilian national team. The 20-year-old goalkeeper has been part of the Cruzeiro professional team since last year, when he still played in the junior team in some games. He was promoted to the first team on a permanent basis this season, achieving a meteoric rise. Initially, Otávio was the reserve of Cunha, who did not consolidate in the position due to unstable performances. However, Otávio took over as the first-choice goalkeeper in April and has not left the team since. His performances have led Cruzeiro to give up searching for a new goalkeeper in the market and recently renewed his contract until 2031.
