Paulinho on course for Olympics with the Seleção
Paulinho is a step closer to taking part in the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. The 19-year-old progressed to the finals of the Olympic qualifiers with the Brazil U23 team last night.
In the qualifying tournament for the Olympics, Paulinho clocked up the third win in three games with the Brazil U23 team. The Seleção Olimpica beat Bolivia 5-3 in the penultimate group match for the play-offs. That means the Brazil U23s are through ahead of the final group game against Paraguay on Friday 31 January. Paulinho was in the starting line-up against Bolivia and he was substituted on 76 minutes with the score at 4-2.
The South American Association CONMEBOL has two places at the Olympic Games – a total of ten countries are battling in two groups in the qualification tournament. The top two teams in group stages will play each other to determine who will qualify.
