National team coach Wanderley Luxemburgo named his squad of 22 players on Tuesday 04 July in the Hotel Meridien, Rio de Janeiro to play against Paraguay on 18 July, in the Defensores Del Chaco stadium in Asuncion, and Argentina on 26 July, in Morumbi, Sao Paulo. Both games are valid for the 2002 World Cup qualifiers (South American Division).
The full list of players called up for international duty is as follows:
Keepers
Dida (Milan) and Marcos (Palmeiras)
Wingers
Cafu (Rome), Evanilson (Borussia Dortmund), Junior (Palmeiras) and Roberto Carlos (Real Madrid)
Full Backs
Antonio Carlos (Rome), Fabio Luciano (Corinthians), Edmilson (Sao Paulo), Roque Junior (Milan)
Defensive midfielders
Emerson (Bayer Leverkusen), Vampeta (Corinthians), Flavio Conceicao (Deportivo de La Coruna), Cesar Sampaio (Palmeiras)
Offensive midfielders
Ze Roberto (Bayer Leverkusen), Djalminha (Deportivo la Coruna), Rivaldo (Barcelona) and Alex (Palmeiras)
Strikers
Ronaldinho (Gremio), Guilherme (Atletico Mineiro), Marques (Atletico Mineiro) and Franca (Sao Paulo)
It was the first time that Wanderley has called up Edmilson, Fabio Luciano, Marques and Djalminha. Edmilson and Fabio Luciano have never played for their country before at any level.
Full back Antonio Carlos could not be included in the line up against Paraguay, as he has to sit out a suspension for accumulated yellow cards. He will, however, be able to play against Argentina.
The squad will meet on 10 July in Iguacu Falls where they will train until 25 July. The team will leave for Asuncion on 17 July, but will return to the Falls the next day. They travel to Sao Paulo for the match against Argentina on 25 July.
The Brazilian delegation will be staying at the Hotel Bourbon in Iguacu Falls and will probably train at Flamengo de Foz and ABC’s facilities, the same as were used by the squad training for the pre-Olympic tournament.
