Carlos Augusto in action for Brazil

Carlos Augusto is back in a Brazil shirt: a year on from his last appearance for the Brazilian national team (in a friendly against Japan in October 2025), the Inter left-back featured in the starting line up for another friendly against Japan, this time in Singapore.

It was Carlos Augusto's fifth appearance for Brazil in total, and he was on the pitch for the full 90 minutes. The match was played at the Singapore National Stadium, and ended in a 3-2 victory for Japan. Vinicius scored twice to bring Brazil level after goals from Kubo and Nakamura gave Japan a two-goal lead, but a goal from Sakamoto in the 91st minute secured the win for Japan.
