Gil played at the 2014 edition of the Superclásico de las Américas, where Brazil defeated Argentina 2-0. He was placed in the standby list for the 2015 Copa América.

Gil had a controversially disallowed goal, in which he was ruled to have fouled an opposition player before heading into the net, in a FIFA World Cup qualifier away to Paraguay, in March 2016. The match ended 2-2. Later that year, he was called up to the 23-man squad which would compete at the Copa América Centenario.

In June 2017, Gil was recalled to the national team, now coached by Tite, who included the defender on his list for the first time. He made his return to the national team after nearly a full year in the Superclásico de las Américas, which ended in a 0-1 defeat to Argentina.
