History
Early history (191457)

It is generally believed that the first game of the Brazilian national football team was a
1914 match between a Rio de Janeiro and So Paulo select team and the English club
Exeter City, held in Fluminense's stadium.[31][32] Brazil won 20 with goals by Oswaldo
Gomes and Osman,[31][32][33] though it is claimed that the match was a 33 draw.[34][35]

In contrast to its future success, the national team's early appearances were not brilliant.
Other early matches played during that time include several friendly games against
Argentina (being defeated 30), Chile (first in 1916) and Uruguay (first on July 12, The first Brazil national team ever,
1916).[36] However, led by the goalscoring abilities of Arthur Friedenreich, they were 1914.
victorious at home in the South American Championships in 1919, repeating their victory,
also at home, in 1922.

In 1930, Brazil played in the first World Cup, held in Uruguay in 1930. The squad defeated Bolivia but lost to Yugoslavia, being
eliminated from the competition. They lost in the first round to Spain in 1934 in Italy, but reached the semi-finals in France in
1938, being defeated 2-1 by eventual winners Italy. Brazil were the only South American team to participate in this competition.

After being victorious in a third South American Championship in 1949 Brazil first achieved international prominence when it
hosted the 1950 FIFA World Cup. The team went into the last game of the final round, against Uruguay at Estdio do Maracan in
Rio, needing only a draw to win the World Cup. Uruguay, however, won the match and the Cup in a game known as "the
Maracanazo". The match led to a period of national mourning.[37]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_national_football_team 2/27
10/08/2017 Brazil national football team - Wikipedia

For the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland, the Brazilian team was then almost completely
renovated, with the team colours changed (to a new design by Aldyr Schlee) from all
white to the yellow, blue and green of the national flag, to forget the Maracanazo, but still
had a group of star players. Brazil reached the quarter-final, where they were beaten 42
by tournament favourites Hungary in one of the ugliest matches in football history, known
as the Battle of Berne.[38]

The Golden Era with Pel (195870)


Brazil's first match at home against
For the 1958 World Cup, Brazil were drawn in a group with England, the USSR and Exeter City in 1914.
Austria. They beat Austria 30 in their first match, then drew 00 with England. Before
the match, coach Vicente Feola made three substitutions that were crucial for Brazil to
defeat the Soviets: Zito, Garrincha and Pel. From the kick-off, they kept up the pressure
relentlessly, and after three minutes, which were later described as "the greatest three
minutes in the history of football",[39] Vav gave Brazil the lead. They won the match by
20. Pel scored the only goal of their quarter-final match against Wales, and they beat
France 52 in the semi-final. Brazil then beat Sweden 52 in the final, winning their first
World Cup and becoming the first nation to win a World Cup title outside of its own
continent.

In the 1962 World Cup, Brazil earned its second title with Garrincha as the star player, a
mantle and responsibility laid upon him after the regular talisman, Pel, was injured
during the second group match against Czechoslovakia and unable to play for the rest of The Brazil national team at the 1959
the tournament.[40][41] Copa Amrica.

In the 1966 World Cup, Brazil had their worst performance in a World Cup. The 1966
tournament was remembered for its excessively physical play, and Pel was one of the players most affected. Against Portugal,
several violent tackles by the Portuguese defenders caused Pel to leave the match and the tournament. Brazil lost this match and
was eliminated in the first round of the World Cup for the first time since 1934. They have not failed to reach the knockout stages
of the competition since. Brazil became the second nation to be eliminated in the first round while holding the World Cup crown
following Italy in 1950. After the 2002, 2010 and 2014 World Cups, France, Italy and Spain were also added to this list.[42] After
the tournament, Pel declared that he did not wish to play in the World Cup again. Nonetheless, he returned in 1970.

Brazil won its third World Cup in Mexico at the 1970 World Cup. It fielded what has since then often been considered the best
World Cup football squad ever,[17][18][19][20][21] led by Pel in his last World Cup finals, captain Carlos Alberto Torres, Jairzinho,
Tosto, Grson and Rivelino. Even though Garrincha had retired, this team was still a force to be reckoned with. They won all six
of their gamesagainst Czechoslovakia, England and Romania during group play, and against Peru, Uruguay and Italy in the
knockout rounds. Jairzinho was the second top scorer with seven goals; Pel finished with four goals. Brazil lifted the Jules Rimet
trophy for the third time (the first nation to do so), which meant that they were allowed to keep it. A replacement was then
commissioned, though it would be 24 years before Brazil won it again.

The dry spell (197193)

After the international retirement of Pel and other stars from the 1970 squad, Brazil was not able to overcome the Netherlands at
the 1974 World Cup in West Germany, finishing in fourth place.[43]

In the second group stage of the 1978 World Cup, Brazil was competing with tournament hosts Argentina for top spot and a place
in the finals. In their last group match, Brazil defeated Poland 31 to go to the top of the group with a goal difference of +5.
Argentina had had a goal difference of +2, but in its last group match, it defeated Peru 60, and thus qualified for the final in a
match accused of ultimately-unproven match fixing. The Brazilian team qualified for the third place, and were the only team to
remain unbeaten in the tournament.

At the 1982 World Cup, held in Spain, Brazil were the tournament favorites, and easily moved through the early part of the draw,
but a 32 defeat in Barcelona to Italy, in one of the classic games in World Cup finals history, eliminated them from the
tournament in the match that they refer to as "Sarri's Disaster", referencing the stadium's name. The 1982 team, with players like
Scrates, Zico, Falco and der, is remembered as perhaps the greatest team never to win a World Cup.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_national_football_team 3/27
10/08/2017 Brazil national football team - Wikipedia

Several players, including Scrates and Zico, from 1982 returned to play at the 1986
World Cup in Mexico. Brazil, still a very good team and more disciplined defensively
than four years earlier, met the Michel Platini-led France in the quarter-finals in a classic
of Total Football. The game played to a 11 draw in regulation time, and after a goalless
extra time, it all came down to a penalty shoot-out, where Brazil was defeated 43.

After 40 years, Brazil was victorious in the 1989 Copa Amrica, this being their fourth
victory in four tournaments hosted in Brazil. At the 1990 World Cup in Italy, Brazil was
coached by Sebastio Lazaroni. With a defensive scheme, whose main symbol was
midfielder Dunga, forward Careca and three centre-backs, the team lacked creativity but
made it to the second round. Brazil was eliminated by Diego Maradona-led Argentina in
the round of 16 in Turin, losing to their South American archrivals 10.
The 1970 FIFA World Cup-winning
Brazil team, considered by many
Return to winning ways (19942002) distinguished commentators as the
greatest association football team ever.
Brazil went 24 years without winning a World Cup or even participating in a final. Their
struggles ended at the 1994 tournament in the United States, where a solid side headed by
Romrio, Bebeto, Dunga, Cludio Taffarel and Jorginho won the World Cup for a then-record fourth time. Highlights of their
campaign included a 10 victory over the United States in the round of 16 in San Francisco, a 32 win over the Netherlands in the
quarter-finals in Dallas, and a 10 victory over Sweden in the semi-finals in Los Angeles. This set up Brazil vs. Italy in the final
once again in Los Angeles, which was less than 2,000 miles away from Mexico City, where Brazil had won their previous World
Cup in 1970, ironically after beating Italy. After a 00 draw, penalty kicks loomed and Brazil became champions once again.

Entering the 1998 World Cup as defending champions, Brazil finished runner-up. After a respectable campaign during which they
beat the Netherlands on penalties in the semi-final following a 11 draw, the team lost to the host France 30 in the final.

Fuelled by the "Three R's" (Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho), Brazil won its fifth
championship at the 2002 World Cup, held in South Korea and Japan. Brazil beat all three
opponents in group play in South Korea and topped the group. In Brazil's opening game
against Turkey, in Ulsan, Rivaldo fell to the ground clutching his face after Turkey's
Hakan nsal had kicked the ball at his legs. Rivaldo escaped suspension but was fined
5,180 for play-acting, and became the first player ever to be punished in FIFA's
crackdown on diving. In their knockout round matches in Japan, Brazil defeated Belgium
20 in Kobe in the round of 16. Against England in the quarter-finals in Shizuoka, they
won 21, with the winning goal coming from an unexpected free-kick by Ronaldinho. Brazilian national football airplane in

(20). In the final group game against Japan, Brazil won 41. Ronaldo scored twice and
equalled the record for the most goals scored across all World Cups. In the round of 16,

At the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Brazil won their first two matches against North
Korea (21) and the Ivory Coast (31), respectively. Their last match, against Portugal,
ended in a 00 draw. They faced Chile in the round of 16, winning 30, although in the
quarter-final they fell to the Netherlands 21.

In July 2010, Mano Menezes was named as Brazil's new coach.[49] At the 2011 Copa
Amrica, Brazil lost against Paraguay and was eliminated in the quarter-finals. On 4 July
2012, due to a lack of competitive matches because the team had automatically qualified
for the 2014 World Cup as tournament hosts, Brazil was ranked 11th in the FIFA ranking,
the first time the Seleo was ruled out the top ten since the ranking was created in Brazil and Chile in 2010.
1993.[50]

Return of Luiz Felipe Scolari (201314)

In November 2012, coach Mano Menezes was sacked and replaced by Luiz Felipe Scolari.[51][52]

On 6 June 2013, Brazil was ranked 22nd in the FIFA ranking, their lowest-ever rank.[53]
Brazil entered the 2013 Confederations Cup with the objective of defending their title. In
the final, Brazil faced Spain,[54] winning 30 and sealing their fourth Confederations Cup
title.[55][56] Neymar was named player of the tournament and received the Golden Ball
Award and the Adidas Bronze Shoe, and Jlio Csar won the Golden Glove Award for the
best goalkeeper of the tournament.[57]

Brazil was drawn into Group A of the 2014 World Cup, alongside Croatia, Mexico and
Cameroon. In the opening match of the tournament, Marcelo scored an own goal for Brazil won the 2013 FIFA

The team then draw 00 with Mexico, as Guillermo Ochoa produced a man of the match
performance in the Mexican goal.[59] Brazil confirmed qualification to the knockout stage
by defeating Cameroon 41 with Neymar again scoring twice, and Fred and Fernandinho providing further goals.[60]

Brazil faced Chile in the round of 16, taking an 18th-minute lead through David Luiz's first goal for the Seleo. With no further
scoring after Alexis Snchez's equaliser, the match went to a penalty shootout. Brazil prevailed 32, with Neymar, David Luiz
and Marcelo converting their kicks, and goalkeeper Jlio Csar saving from Chileans Alexis Snchez and Mauricio Pinilla.[61]
The team again faced South American opposition in the quarter-final, defeating Colombia 21 with goals from central defenders
David Luiz and the team captain Thiago Silva. Late in the match, Neymar was substituted on a stretcher after Juan Camilo
Ziga's knee had made contact with the forward's back. Neymar was taken to hospital and later diagnosed with a fractured
vertebra, which ruled him out for the remainder of the tournament.[62] Prior to this, Neymar had scored four goals, provided one
assist, and been named man of the match twice. Brazil faced further problems ahead of their semi-final against Germany, as
Thiago Silva was to serve a one-match suspension for receiving his second yellow card of the tournament in the quarter-final.[63]
The Seleo went on to lose 17 to the Germans their biggest ever defeat at the World Cup and first home loss in a competitive
match since 1975.[64] Towards the end of the match, the home crowd began to "ol" each pass from the German team, and booed
their own players off the pitch after the final whistle.[65] The match has been nicknamed the Mineirazo, making reference to the
nation's previous World Cup defeat on home soil, the Maracanazo against Uruguay in 1950, and the Estdio do Mineiro where
the match took place.[66]

Brazil finished the World Cup in fourth place, having failed to avenge their semi final defeat to Germany by losing to the
Netherlands 03 in the third-place match. The team ended the tournament with the worst defensive record of the 32 competing
nations, having conceded 14 goals.[67] The only other countries to concede 12 or more goals in the current World Cup format are
North Korea and Saudi Arabia.[68] Following these results, Scolari announced his resignation.[69]

Return of Dunga (20142016)

On 22 July 2014, Dunga was announced as the new manager of Brazil, returning to the position for the first time since the team's
exit at the 2010 World Cup.[70]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_national_football_team 5/27
10/08/2017 Brazil national football team - Wikipedia

Dunga's first match in his second reign as Brazil's manager was a friendly match against
2014 World Cup quarter-finalists Colombia at Sun Life Stadium in Miami on 5 September
2014, with Brazil winning the match 10 through a 83rd-minute Neymar free-kick
goal.[71] Dunga followed this up with wins against Ecuador (10),[72] in the 2014
Superclsico de las Amricas against Argentina (20),[73] against Japan (40),[74] against
Turkey (04),[75] and against Austria (12).[76] Dunga continued Brazil's winning streak
in 2015 by defeating France 31 in another friendly. They followed this with wins against
Chile (10), Mexico (20) and Honduras (10).

2015 Copa Amrica

The 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil team


Brazil started the tournament with a victory against Peru after coming from behind by 21
(with Douglas Costa scoring in the dying moments),[77] followed by a 10 defeat against
Colombia[78] and a 21 victory against Venezuela.[79] In the knockout stage, Brazil faced
Paraguay and was eliminated after drawing 11 in normal time and losing 43 in the penalty shootout.[80] As such, Brazil was
unable to qualify for a FIFA Confederations Cup (in this case, the 2017 edition) for the first time in almost 20 years.[81]

Copa Amrica Centenario

Brazil began the tournament with a scoreless draw against Ecuador, with the Ecuadorians having a goal wrongly disallowed in the
second half.[82] This was followed by an emphatic 71 victory over Haiti, with Philippe Coutinho scoring a hat-trick.[83] Needing
only a draw to progress to the knockout stage of the tournament, Brazil suffered a controversial 10 loss to Peru, with Ral
Ruidaz scoring in the 75th minute by guiding the ball into the net with his arm.[84][85] This loss, Brazil's first loss to Peru since
1985,[86] saw Brazil eliminated from the tournament in the group stage for the first time since 1987.[87][88][89]

Tite era (2016)

On 14 June 2016, Dunga was sacked as manager of Brazil.[90] Tite, who had managed the 2015 Brazilian champion Corinthians,
was confirmed as his replacement six days later.[91] Tite's debut was marked with an away victory against Ecuador by 30 on 2
September,[92] 21 win over Colombia, 50 shocking win against Bolivia and a 02 victory away against Venezuela, bringing
Brazil to the top of the World Cup Qualifiers leaderboard for the first time since 2011.[93] Brazil then defeated Paraguay 30 to
become the first team, other than the hosts Russia, to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[94]

Olympics
Brazil won its first Olympic gold medal in 2016 on home ground. Prior to that victory, the
Olympic football tournament was the only international competition in football organized
by FIFA that Brazil had never won. They have also won three silver medals (1984, 1988
and 2012) and two bronze medals (1996, 2008).[95] The Brazilian Olympic team is often
coached by the national team coach, such as Mrio Zagallo in 1996, Vanderlei
Luxemburgo in 2000, Dunga in 2008 and Mano Menezes in 2012.

Nicknames
Brazil players with their gold medals
The Brazilian national team with many nicknames and are known in different parts of the from the 2016 Summer Olympics
world by various nicknames. Nicknames for the squad in Brazil include Canarinho,
meaning "Little Canary", a phrase that was popularized by the late cartoonist Fernando
"Mangabeira" Pieruccetti during the 1950 World Cup.[96] Other names like Amarelinha, "Little Yellow One", Verde-amarelo, or
"Green-Yellow", Pentacampeo, "Five-time Champions",[97] Esquadro de Ouro (the Golden Squad), some Latin American
commentators often refer to the Brazil National team El Scratch (The Scratch),[98] among others.

Kit evolution
Brazil's first team colors were white with blue collars, but following defeat in the Maracan at the 1950 World Cup, the colors
were criticised for lacking patriotism. With permission from the Brazilian Sports Confederation, the newspaper Correio da
Manh held a competition to design a kit incorporating the four colors of the Brazilian flag.[99] The winning design was a yellow
jersey with green trim and blue shorts with white trim drawn by Aldyr Garcia Schlee, a nineteen-year-old from Pelotas.[100] The6/27

jersey with green trim and blue shorts with white trim drawn by Aldyr Garcia Schlee, a nineteen-year-old from Pelotas.[100] The
new colors were first used in March 1954 in a match against Chile, and have been used ever since.

The use of blue as the away kit color dates from the 30s, but it became the permanent second choice accidentally in the 1958
World Cup Final. Brazil's opponents were Sweden, who also wear yellow, and a draw gave the home team, Sweden, the right to
play in yellow. Brazil, who travelled with no spare kit, hurriedly purchased a set of blue shirts and sewed on emblems cut from
their yellow shirts.[101]
