Yarlen
Brazilian footballer
Yarlen Faustino Augusto (born 20 February 2006), simply known as Yarlen, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Campeonato Brasileiro Série B club América Mineiro, on loan from Botafogo.
Career
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Yarlen joined Botafogo's youth setup in 2021, from Olaria. He made his first team debut on 3 March 2024, coming on as a late substitute for Kauê in a 4–2 Campeonato Carioca away win over Fluminense; by doing so, he became the first player born in 2006 to appear for the club in an official match.
Yarlen scored his first senior goal on 10 March 2024, netting the opener in a 2–1 away win over Sampaio Corrêa-RJ. On 7 May, he renewed his contract with Fogão until December 2028.
Yarlen made his Série A debut on 1 June 2024, replacing Júnior Santos late into a 1–0 away win over Corinthians.
On 28 July 2025, Yarlen was sent on loan to Primeira Liga club Tondela, with an option to buy. After scoring 1 goal in 14 appearances for the Portuguese club, he returned to Brazil, joining Série B side América Mineiro on loan until the end of the 2026 season.

Why this record matters
The phrase “brazilian footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q126722574. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2021, 2024 and 2028.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
