Cruzeiro Esporte Clube is in the spotlight with Igor Thiago's call-up to the Brazilian national team for the World Cup. The 24-year-old forward, revealed in the club's youth categories, could end a 12-year drought without Cruzeiro representatives in the national team during the competition. Igor Thiago was called up by Carlo Ancelotti and will make his debut against Morocco after an impressive season at Brentford, where he was the Premier League's second top scorer. The last time a player trained by Cruzeiro was in the national team for a World Cup was in 2014. If he steps onto the field, Igor will join a list of iconic athletes from the club who represented Brazil in World Cups, such as Ronaldo Nazário and Tostão. Igor's call-up is a result of his exceptional performance, scoring 22 goals in the last Premier League season. He also performed well in friendlies, scoring against Croatia and Panama. Revealed by Cruzeiro, Igor Thiago joined the professional team in 2020 and, after stints at European clubs, is now shining in the Premier League.
