Argentine goalkeeper Agustín Rossi , who has played for Flamengo since 2023, is in the process of obtaining Brazilian citizenship, raising the possibility of playing for the Brazilian national team in the future. The situation raises questions about the player's eligibility and FIFA's rules for changing nationality.
If Rossi obtains naturalization, he would be eligible to represent Brazil under current sports legislation. The player has not yet played any official matches for the Argentine national team, which would prevent him from making the switch.
In 2020, FIFA relaxed its rules for changing nationality, allowing athletes to play for national teams other than their home country, provided they meet certain criteria. A player can represent another country if, before the age of 21, he or she has played in a maximum of three official matches for the senior national team and has not competed in a World Cup.
Rossi was named in Argentina's official match against Bolivia in a 2022 World Cup qualifier in September 2021, but did not take the field. According to FIFA's governance and eligibility rules:
The striker once again showed his rapport and friendship with his former teammates at Mengão, but the fans were on his back during the match.

The number 9 also posed smiling alongside Arrascaeta and hugged old friends like Rodrigo Caio and Léo Pereira.
During the game, when visiting his former teammates on the bench, the striker even reproduced the famous “ fusion ” celebration, which marked the successful partnership with Bruno Henrique in Flamengo's golden days.
Gabigol only entered the field in the 42nd minute of the second half, right after William was sent off for Cruzeiro. After the final whistle, he made a point of praising the result on social media: " +1 point, thank you blue nation for the support! Now we'll see you at home ."
