"Just to be clear, because the fake news has gone too far: I never made that statement. Although I am against any kind of war and conflict, I never said I wouldn't play for the Brazilian national team at the World Cup. I hope everyone who shared this lie takes it back and deletes their posts."
"The attacks occurred amid an ongoing negotiation process between the parties, which is the only viable path to peace - a position traditionally upheld by Brazil in the region."
Richarlison issued a public statement on social media to refute false claims circulating online that he had refused to play for the Brazilian national team at the World Cup. He emphasized his opposition to war and conflict while clarifying he never made such a statement, urging those who shared the misinformation to delete their posts. This denial came amid broader geopolitical tensions, with Brazil's government issuing a separate statement condemning U.S. involvement in Iran and advocating for negotiation as the path to peace. Richarlison, known for promoting humanitarian causes, remains a valued member of Brazil's national team with 20 goals in 54 appearances, including contributions to the 2019 Copa America victory and 2020 Olympic gold medal.
