International career
César Sampaio joined the Brazil national football team during the Copa América in 1993, also took part at the 1995 edition of the tournament (where they finished as runners-up), but was not part of the team during the FIFA World Cup finals in neither 1990 nor 1994.
He was later also part of the Brazilian squad that won both the Copa América and the FIFA Confederations Cup in 1997, and played for Brazil at the 1998 FIFA World Cup finals, where he made six appearances in the team's run to the final, which they lost to the hosts of the tournament, France.[https://web.archive.org/web/20080509011243/http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/statisticsandrecords/players/player=3242/index.html César Sampaio Statistics] FIFA. Retrieved 22 January 2010. At the 1998 FIFA World Cup finals, he became remembered for scoring the first goal of the entire tournament in the 4th minute of Brazil's opening match against Scotland, a header from a corner by Bebeto on the left.{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/soccer/longterm/worldcup98/results/articles/brazil_scotland.htm |title=Own Goal Gets Brazil Off Scot-Free |newspaper=The Washington Post |last1=Goff |first1=Steven |date=11 June 1998 |access-date=2 April 2020 }} He also scored a brace in Brazil's 4–1 victory against Chile in the round of 16 during the same tournament.{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/soccer/longterm/worldcup98/results/articles/brazil_chile.htm |title=And the Brazilian Beat Goes On and On |newspaper=The Washington Post |last1=Gildea |first1=William |date=28 June 1998 |access-date=2 April 2020 }}

Style of play
Sampaio has been described by FIFA.com as a "modern defensive midfielder who combined being an enforcer with playmaking from deep," and as a player who filled the void left by Dunga as the anchor in Brazil's midfield following his retirement after the 1998 World Cup, by dominating "the engine room." He is considered to be one of Palmeiras's greatest players ever.{{cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/articles/santos-academy-pele-pepe-clodoaldo-neymar-rodrygo-best-graduates |title=Neymar, Pele and ten great graduates of the Santos academy |publisher=FIFA.com |date=8 July 2002 |access-date=26 January 2024 }}{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-scolari-applies-the-bruises-to-the-beautiful-game-1129201.html |title=Football: Scolari applies the bruises to the beautiful game |work=The Independent |date=28 November 1999 |access-date=26 January 2024 }}
