Brazil penalty taker

Raphinha is our current Brazil penalty taker call, with Vinicius Junior next in line if the order changes.

Raphinha is the clearest current Brazil primary after taking the March 2025 qualifier penalty against Colombia. Vinicius Junior remains the strongest challenger because Brazil had trusted him from the spot earlier in the cycle before the order appeared to tilt toward Raphinha.

If you searched for Brazil penalty taker, the hierarchy at the top is the quickest answer we are willing to publish right now. The evidence trail underneath shows why that order makes the cut.

For World Cup 2026, Raphinha is the current first-choice call for Brazil, with Vinicius Junior the closest backup if the tournament order shifts.

A fresh in-match penalty can move this page quickly, especially if it contradicts the current lead or happens with the full-strength tournament pool on the pitch.

For the more conditional boards, one more clean senior penalty is often enough to sharpen the backup line or flip the order outright.
