He returned to the national team six years later, in 2012, when, this time by Mano Menezes, was called up for Superclásico de las Américas.[2] He made his debut for Brazil national football team on November 21, 2012, when Seleção won, after penalties, the title.

Additionally, Carlinhos was placed in the preliminary squad for the 2008 Summer Olympics, but eventually was not called for the final list of the tournament by coach Dunga.
