Brazil coach Dunga surprised many by leaving players such as Ronaldinho, Adriano and Alexandre Pato out of his 23-man squad for the 2010 World Cup, but Wolfsburg striker Grafite did make the cut, much to the attacker's delight.
"This is simply unbelievable and I'm absolutely delighted with my inclusion in Brazil's World Cup squad. I'd like to thank my family, my fans and all my friends for their support," said Grafite to Kicker.
"However, I particularly want to thank my father. He passed away about 18 months ago and he has always supported me. He's looking down on me from heaven and will be very proud of me."
Grafite has only made two international appearances so far for the Selecao. The Wolfsburg striker impressed Dunga during Brazil's 2-0 friendly win against Ireland in March.
