Young Talent Vagno Called Up as Surprise for Fluminense vs Internacional Clash
In a surprising twist ahead of a high-stakes Copa do Brasil showdown, 18-year-old Vagno has been named in the Fluminense squad to face Internacional. The match, set to take place at the iconic Beira-Rio Stadium, just got a little more intriguing with this unexpected addition.
Vagno, a promising left-back from Fluminense's youth academy, was included as a last-minute reinforcement. His name on the team sheet caught fans and analysts off guard, especially given the magnitude of the game. It’s not every day that a player straight from the academy gets called up for such a crucial fixture—especially in a knockout stage of a national competition.

This decision by the coaching staff likely stems from the team’s current issues on the left side of defense. Both Renê and Gabriel Fuentes, who typically fill the left-back role, are unavailable due to injuries. That left Fluminense scrambling for options—and the spotlight fell on Vagno. For him, this could be a life-changing opportunity. Being brought into the professional squad at such a young age and in such a pressure-filled moment speaks volumes about the confidence the club has in his potential.
As fans turn their eyes to this upcoming battle, many will now also be watching Vagno closely—whether he starts, comes off the bench, or just experiences the atmosphere from the sidelines, it’s a big milestone. And who knows? If called upon, he might just seize the moment and make a name for himself.
The first leg is set, but the return match is already on everyone’s radar. It'll take place on August 6th at 9:30 PM at the Maracanã, giving Fluminense home advantage. By then, we may already know if Vagno’s surprise call-up turns into a breakout story.
