Rafael Toloi (born 10 October 1990) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Serie A club Atalanta (of which he is also team captain) and the Italy national team.
Toloi represented his native country internationally at the under-20 level in 2009, but switched allegiance at the senior grade to Italy on February 17, 2021 after meeting FIFA's five-year residency requirement. He had been living in Italy since his move to Atalanta early in the 2015/16 season, and had years earlier acquired Italian citizenship, for which he was eligible because his great grandparents hailed from Treviso. |
