The journey of Yan Gabriel to the Brazil U-15 team began far from the spotlight. Today one of the highlights of the red-black base, the 15-year-old left-back arrived at Sport in August 2024 after a period of evaluation motivated by a mapping work carried out by the club in the Northeast. Less than two years later, he was called up for the second time by coach Guilherme Dalla Déa for the national team. This time, for two friendlies against Uruguay, which will be played on August 19 and 22 at Granja Comary in Teresópolis. Yan is currently treated as one of the promises of Sport's formation. The call-up to the Brazil U-15 team would come as a result of Yan's dedication, who arrived at sub-13, passed to sub-15 and is now at sub-17 of the Pernambuco team. For the vice-president of Sport's base, George Queirós, the call reinforces the work developed by the club in the formation of athletes. The rise of the left-back also passes through a history of early adaptation. Born in Maranhão, Yan left his family at 13 to pursue his dream of becoming a football player. Today, he lives in the house of an ex-colleague of Sport's base, in Jaboatão do Guararapes, in the Metropolitan Region of Recife. It was a very difficult process, both for me and for my family. But I came to realize my dream. My dream has always been to be a football player. The first call-up to the Brazil U-15 team also marked the young player. Besides wearing the Brazil jersey, he also scored in a friendly against Chile in Santiago last month. When I saw my name on the list of called-up players, I was very happy and proud. It's an incredible moment for me and my family.
