International career[]

East Timor[]

Caio received his East Timorese passport in 2015,[3] despite having no known means of eligibility such as a family connection or residency.[4] An inquiry held by the Prime Minister of East Timor in 2016 heard that Caio was one of seven Brazilian footballers to receive falsified baptism documents from East Timor's Catholic Church in order to make it appear he was eligible for East Timorese nationality.[5]

United Arab Emirates[]

In January 2020, Caio acquired Emirati citizenship which qualified him to play for United Arab Emirates national team to compete at the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification.[6] Caio debuted in a friendly 3–2 win over Tajikistan on 12 November 2020.[7]
