Barcelona have acknowledged they cannot prevent Raphinha from joining the Brazil squad for an international friendly against Australia. The match took place on September 25, 2026, at Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville, where Raphinha featured for the Brazilian national team.
The Catalan club's response to the call-up was summed up as "nothing we can do," reflecting the mandatory nature of FIFA international windows. Raphinha traveled with the Seleção for the fixture against the Socceroos as part of Brazil's preparation schedule.
