Vinicius Jr has been selected by Brazil to model their second strip for this summer's Copa America.
Real Madrid's 18-year-old is highly regarded and tipped by many to become one of the best players in world football.
And clearly those in Brazil feel the same as he was especially chosen to model the white kit marking the centenary since Brazil's Copa America win in 1919.
