We study the existence of generalized complex structures on the six-dimensional sphere \(\mathbb {S}^6\) . We work with the generalized tangent bundle \(\mathbb {T}\mathbb {S}^6\rightarrow \mathbb {S}^6\) and define the integrability of generalized geometric structures in terms of the Dorfman bracket. Specifically, we prove that there is not a direct way to induce a generalized complex structure on \(\mathbb {S}^6\) from its usual nearly Kähler structure inherited from the octonions product.
