Geography 

BRAZIL PROFILE 

The largest country in South America, Brazil stretches over almost half of the continent. With a surface area of 

8,547,400 km², Brazil is the world’s fifth largest country in area (behind Russia, China, Canada and the United States). 

It covers 4,345 km from north to south between its furthest points and 4,330 km from east to west. The highest 

population concentrations are along the Atlantic coastlines, most notably in the two largest cities, Sao Paulo and Rio 

de Janeiro. The capital Brasilia is situated over 1,000 km inland. 

The country is divided into five regions (Centre-West, North, Northeast, South and Southeast), which are themselves 

divided into 26 states plus the Federal District that houses Brazilian capital Brasília. 

Population 

Brazil has roughly 190 million inhabitants, making it the fifth most populated country on Earth. The Southeast region 

is the most heavily-populated in Brazil with almost 80 million people, roughly 40 per cent of the total. It is also the 

most densely-populated (84.2 inhabitants per km²) and has the highest urbanisation rate at 90 per cent. 

The official language is Portuguese, however many Brazilians speak other languages according to their origins. 

German and Italian, for example, are fairly prevalent in the cities of the south. Almost 75 per cent of Brazilians are 

Catholics, whilst another 26 million are Protestants. 

History & Governance 

Officially, Portuguese Pedro Alvares Cabral is regarded as the discoverer of Brazil. His fleet, in search of the Indias, 

sailed into the South of modern-day Bahia on 22 April 1500. Since 1530, the Portuguese Crown implemented a 

colonising policy that lasted centuries and ended when Dom Pedro I declared the country's independence on 7 

September 1822. 

After 1822, Brazil was governed by an imperial dynasty until a military revolt led by Marshal Manuel Deodoro da 

Fonseca forced Emperor Dom Pedro II to abdicate in November 1889. The country became a republic and, despite a 

long period of instability and even military dictatorship between 1964 and 1985, it now enjoys the fruits of 

democracy. 

Current President Dilma Rousseff has held the post since her inauguration on 1 January 2011. 

Economy 

Predominantly agrarian until recently, Brazil underwent rapid industrial growth throughout the 1960s and 1970s, and 

by the 1980s possessed a fundamentally modern, diversified economy. This development went hand in hand with 

heavy exploitation of its natural resources, in particular coal and iron ore. 

Nearly a quarter of the world's coffee comes from Brazil. Brazil is also one of the foremost producers of sugar cane, 

used not only to make sugar but also the alcohol that fuels 2.5 million specially-designed vehicles. Production levels 

of ricin, cocoa, corn and oranges are among the highest in the world as well, while soy, tobacco, potato, cotton, rice, 

wheat, manioc and bananas are also produced in large quantities. Sheep and cattle are reared in almost every state. 

The Brazilian rainforest is another source of natural riches, including tung oil, rubber, carnauba oil, caroa fibre, 

medicinal plants, vegetable oils, resins, timber for construction and various woods used in furniture-making. Brazil 

has also begun mining fairly recently, again taking advantage of its abundant natural resources. 

Football in Brazil 

Founded in 1914, the Confederaçao Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) boasts a large list of honours: five FIFA World Cups, 

eight Copa Americas, four FIFA Under-20 World Cups, three FIFA Under-17 World Cups, two FIFA Confederations 

Cups, four FIFA Futsal World Cups, three FIFA Beach Soccer World Cups and dozens of continental trophies. 

Famous players of Brazil over the years include Pele (whose name is almost synonymous with Brazilian sport itself), 

Leonidas, Garrincha, Didi, Vava, Zagallo, Tostão, Zico, Jairzinho, Carlos Alberto, Socrates, Bebeto, Romario, Cafu, 

Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos. Brazilian football’s exceptional new talents include superstars Ronaldinho and Kaka.

FOOTBALL IN AUSTRALIA 

Football in Australia has its roots in the early colonial days, with the first known match played between Wanderers 

and King's School at the Parramatta Common in Sydney. The match, played 14 August 1880 in front of almost 1000 

spectators, ended in a 5-0 win to the Wanderers. 

The first international match took place 42 years later, against trans-Tasman rivals New Zealand. Australia lost 1-3 in 

Dunedin in June 1922. 

Since then, and especially over the past 40 years, the sport of football has grown extensively in the country, 

cumulating with participation levels – especially for juniors – at an all-time high for any football code. 

Out of a total population of 23 million people, latest survey data shows that Australia has more than one million 

football participants, including well over 600,000 players officially registered with affiliated federations, 

incorporating junior, amateur, school, futsal, church and contract players. 

At the elite end of the scale, Australia regularly competes for a berth in the men’s and women’s World Cups, and the 

Olympic Games. Additionally, the various age-restricted continental championships throughout the diverse Asian 

Football Confederation provide elite players from all ages significant opportunities to gain international experience 

and exposure. 

The code has one of the most respected talent identification systems and youth development programs of any sport 

in Australia, culminating with the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra. The National Youth League and National 

Youth Championships are more examples of the pathways that continue to lead to the production of champion 

men's and women's players. 

Since the early 1900s, the country’s elite football clubs competed in the various state leagues. In 1977, football was 

the first code in Australia to adopt a national league. In 2005 a vibrant and brand new national competition – the 

Hyundai A-League – was launched, attracting historically large crowds and a significant national TV audience. 

The domestic competition and development programs have combined to establish Australia as a major exporter on 

the world soccer stage, with many Australians featuring in top leagues throughout the world. The ongoing return of 

current and former national team players to take up renewed playing careers in the A-League demonstrates the full 

cycle of the investment in Australian talent. 

Football Federation Australia (FFA) is the governing body for football in Australia and is a member of Fédération 

Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the international governing body for football. FIFA is made up of more 

than 200 other national associations, each of which are within one of six continental confederations. FFA has been a 

member of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) since joining the body on January 1 2006. 

Australia's long-sought entry into the AFC brought enormous benefits to the game, adding a new dimension that 

seemed a dream just ten years ago. 

The FFA has an overall responsibility to administer, develop and promote football in Australia through its state and 

territory membership. Each of these governing bodies has a commitment to comply with the FFA constitution, 

applicable statutes, by-laws and regulations, and are responsible for the game within their region. 

Football Federation Australia is specifically responsible for the: 

– senior national men’s team (Socceroos) 

– under 23 national men’s team (Under 23s) 

– under 20 national men’s youth team (Young Socceroos) 

– under 17 national men’s youth team (Joeys) 

– senior national women's team (Westfield Matildas) 

– under 20 national women's team (Westfield Young Matildas) 

– under 17 national women's team (Westfield Women's Under 17s) 

– national men’s indoor (futsal) team (Futsalroos) 

– national paralympic football team (Pararoos) 

FFA's long-term vision is to establish Australia as a truly world-class football nation. In order to achieve this vision, 

FFA's business operations are structured across three core strategic pillars: 

– National Teams & Elite Player Development, 

– A-League & Competitions, and 

– Football Community.

The early years – pre-Federation 

AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL TEAM HISTORY 

Australia's first official international matches were 

played as part of a tour to New Zealand in 1922. While 

the two losses and a draw in the three-match series 

against the New Zealand national side did not make for 

a good start, it was nevertheless a historic phase in 

Australia's football history. 

Australia’s first international win came a year later, 

when New Zealand made a return trip to Australia. 

Over the next four decades, Australia's opponents were 

mostly from the Commonwealth. In addition to many 

home and away matches against the Kiwis, teams from 

Canada, India, England and South Africa occasionally 

toured Down Under, while the Australians ventured 

abroad to places such as the Dutch East Indies (now 

Indonesia), Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and South Africa. 

With limited budgets and scant resources for football 

in Australia at the time, there was little opportunity for 

professionalism, with virtually all players having to 

balance their footballing careers with full-time work 

and family life. And in an era where passenger air 

travel was in its infancy and transport by sea and 

railway was the norm, national team tours were very 

long - sometimes lasting for months. 

In those days, a commitment to the Australian national 

team was a major devotion to the cause. It was an 

involvement at a completely different level to today, 

and set a lasting foundation that seems yet to be fully 

appreciated by the bulk of today's football community. 

Highlights of the first 40 years of the Australian national 

team include huge victories over arch-rivals New 

Zealand in 1936, a successful tour of southern Africa in 

1950, and the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games - where 

the Aussies won their opening match against Japan. 

The aftermath of the Second World War saw wave 

after wave of migrants come to Australia with many 

bringing their passion for football to these shores. 

Scores of 'ethnic-based' teams made their way onto 

the scene, together with regular visits from high-profile 

European sides. The effects of this influx of 'new 

Australians' is evident in successive generations, with 

the bulk of Australia’s top players in the decade before 

and after the turn of the 21st century having family 

roots from the post World War II European migrants. 

The late 1950s saw some controversial administrative 

changes to football in this country, and for a variety of 

reasons Australia ceased to be officially recognised by 

FIFA, the game's worldwide governing body, in 1959. As 

a result, Australia was banned from playing international 

football. In 1963 the dispute with FIFA was resolved, and 

Australia became a fully fledged member of the world’s 

governing body – a Federation in its own right. 

Post-Federation – and a world title to aim for 

Australia's first full international matches played after 

Federation were also its first attempt at qualifying for a 

FIFA World Cup. Following a number of withdrawals 

from Asian countries it turned out that Australia, 

Oceania's only entrant, merely had to play-off against 

North (DPR) Korea for the right to be at the 1966 FIFA 

World Cup. An under-prepared Australian side was 

convincingly beaten by North Korea over the two legs – 

a North Korean side which went on to reach the 

quarter finals at England '66. 

The qualifying process for the 1970 FIFA World Cup was 

a truly marathon campaign. Australia finished first in an 

initial tournament in South Korea (Korea Republic), 

which was followed by a three match series against 

Rhodesia, played in the space of six days in 'neutral' 

Mozambique. Following the eventual victory over the 

Africans was a home and away final qualification tie 

against Israel. Inspired by captain Johnny Warren, the 

end result was the closest of losses over the two legs. 

Australia’s next World Cup campaign however proved 

much more successful and after another rigorous first 

phase of qualifying, the Peter Wilson-led Aussies met 

South Korea for a place in the 1974 finals. After both the 

home and away legs ended in draws, a deciding game 

took place in Hong Kong where Jimmy Mackay’s long 

range strike became part of Australian sporting folklore. 

Australia won the play-off 1-0, ensuring the county’s first 

participation in a FIFA World Cup finals tournament. 

The World Cup was a totally different experience for 

Australia’s part-timers, up against fullly professional 

players from nations where the sport was like a religion. 

Coached by Rale Rasic, Australia’s first two 1974 World 

Cup matches were against East Germany (a 2-0 loss) and 

hosts and eventual winners West Germany (a 3-0 loss).

Despite the defeats, the Socceroos earned the respect 

of the football world – East Germany were the only 

team to defeat Champions West Germany at the cup. 

Australia gained its first World Cup point with a tight 0- 

0 draw in its final 1974 match, against Chile. 

32 years of FIFA World Cup wilderness 

However, after reaching the FIFA World Cup for the first 

time, qualification proved to be one nightmare after 

another over the following three decades, with internal 

challenges affecting preparation, arduous qualifying 

paths and pure bad luck resulting in failure after failure. 

At the national level, Australia went through some 

unsettled years after the glory of 1974. While the 

Socceroos (barely) took out the Oceania sub-group of the 

1978 FIFA World Cup qualifying phase, fourth place in the 

subsequent Asian phase – where only first-placed Iran 

would qualify – made West Germany seem so long ago. 

In 1982, a home loss to New Zealand early in the 

Asia/Oceania group campaign effectively ended 

Australia's chances. Zone winners New Zealand 

eventually qualified for their first FIFA World Cup. 

The first phase of the attempt to reach the 1986 FIFA 

World Cup saw Australia take out the Oceania group, 

which included Israel. It was then a play-off against 

UEFA Group Seven runners-up Scotland. After the first 

leg in Glasgow ended 2-0 to the Scots, a fighting and 

attacking display by the Socceroos in the return fixture 

somehow ended 0-0. Australia had failed again. 

With Frank Arok at the helm, the Australian football 

team matured throughout the mid to late 1980s, a 

period which included draws against European 

powerhouses England and Czechoslovakia, and a 

stunning 4-1 win over reigning world champions 

Argentina in 1988. This year also saw the national team 

qualify for the Olympic Games (the last Olympics with 

no age restrictions for male football teams) where a 1- 

0 win over Yugoslavia made the world take notice. 

The 1990 FIFA World Cup campaign therefore started 

with renewed optimism. However it was perhaps an 

over-confident Australian team which lost the away leg 

against New Zealand, which ultimately led to second 

place in the Oceania/Israel group. Group winners Israel 

progressed to the next stage. 

By now a host of Australian players were plying their 

trade overseas, some rather successfully, and many 

believed this would eventually take Australian football to 

another level. The 1994 World Cup campaign saw 

Australia face two long-distance play-offs to get through, 

after winning all their Oceania qualifiers. The Socceroos 

successfully negotiated Canada – albeit only after 

penalties – which led to a final qualifying confrontation 

against Argentina. With the comeback of Diego 

Maradona it seemed the whole world was watching as 

Australia drew the first (home) leg, but ultimately lost 

the play-off by one goal, an unlucky own goal in Buenos 

Aires highlighting the Socceroo curse. 

Another clearly dominant performance by Australia in 

the Oceania stages meant 'only' having to defeat the 

fourth-placed Asian team to qualify for the 1998 FIFA 

World Cup. Inspired by a goal from 19 year old Harry 

Kewell, a Australia drew the first leg against Iran 1-1 

away. And at 2-0 up with 20 minutes to go in the 

second leg, the Socceroos were surely on their way to 

the World Cup. But then, in what must be the most 

demoralising 20 minutes in Australian sporting history, 

Iran showed up the Aussie curse to draw and take out 

the tie on away goals. Despite not losing a match in the 

1998 campaign, Australia missed out yet again. 

Despite the agony of seeing their dreams cruelly taken 

away, somehow the Socceroos bounced back with a 

stellar performance at the 1997 FIFA Confederations 

Cup, played immediately following the Iran games. 

With wins over Mexico and Uruguay, Australia reached 

the final where, following Mark Viduka’s early send-off, 

defeat beckoned against a rampaging Brazilian side. 

After failing to qualify for the 1999 FIFA Confederations 

Cup Australia returned to the Confederations Cup in 

2001. Here the green and gold again proved it could 

match it with the world’s best, defeating reigning 

world champions France and perennial favourites 

Brazil on their way to finishing third in the prestigious 

intercontinental tournament. 

These impressive results gave Australia confidence for 

the final leg of the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifying 

campaign. Earlier in the process, the Socceroos had 

broken the world record for the biggest victory in a 

World Cup match with a 31-0 win over American 

Samoa. After then easily accounting for New Zealand, 

Australia was left with a difficult play-off against 

Uruguay. The curse of the Socceroos appeared to have 

lifted with victory in the first (home) leg; but the 

second leg was a different story, where the Socceroos 

were eventually overwhelmed by the Uruguayans. 

Australia’s next assignment was qualification for the 2003 

FIFA Confederations Cup. The anticipated stroll through 

the Oceania qualifying tournament was supposed to be 

some respite from the gloom of the Uruguay loss. But it 

wasn't to be - with Australia losing to New Zealand in the 

Oceania Nations Cup final. In hindsight, the loss was an 

apt result for football in Australia in 2002, as it echoed the 

financial woes and administrative difficulties faced by the 

national body at the time. Combined with the stark reality 

of seven consecutive unsuccessful World Cup campaigns 

and a slowly decaying domestic league, Australian football 

was in the doldrums. 


A new era 


Out of the blue, a comprehensive 3-1 away win over 

'mother England' in early 2003 marked an on-field 

turning point for the Australian national team. 

Success in the 2004 OFC Oceania Nations Cup ensured 

qualification for the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup and 

a final Oceania FIFA World Cup play-off against the 

Solomon Islands. Promising performances by the 

Socceroos at the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup against 

the likes of Germany and Argentina gave hope, with a 

looming FIFA World Cup qualifying showdown against 

the fifth-placed South American side. 

After easily accounting for the Solomons in the final 

Oceania play-off, Australia was confronted by its 

nemesis from 2001, Uruguay, in its final 2006 FIFA World 

Cup qualifying play-off match. Under coach Guus 

Hiddink, a gritty first-leg away performance by the 

Socceroos ended with just a one-goal margin to the 

Uruguayans. The final 15 minutes of the Montevideo leg 

seemed to sway the tie in Australia's favour, with the 

resolute Australian defence repelling wave after wave of 

unrelenting Uruguayan attack. At one-nil down after the 

first leg, Australia's attacking prowess came to the fore 

in Sydney, although the scoreboard would ultimately 

record just one goal – a somewhat flukey one by Marco 

Bresciano – for the Aussies, with no reply eventually 

sending the tie to penalties. The final hero was Mark 

Schwarzer, with two telling saves ensuring an 

unforgettable victory and qualification for Germany 

2006. The images of John Aloisi slamming home the final 

shoot-out goal – and the celebrations – will live in the 

hearts of Australian football fans for a long time. 

Germany 2006 

After 95,000 fans packed into the MCG to farewell the 

Socceroos in a 1-0 win over European Champions 

Greece, the 2006 FIFA World Cup odyssey began. 

Australia was given no favours in the finals tournament 

draw, with formidable group opponents Japan, Brazil 

and Croatia in the way of a second round berth. 

At 1-0 down with just eight minutes to go against Japan 

in its first 2006 World Cup match, Australia’s progress 

already looked unlikely. But when Tim Cahill drilled in a 

loose ball to score Australia’s first ever World Cup 

finals goal, followed shortly after by his second, the 

agony transformed into ecstasy – which turned into 

complete exhilaration when John Aloisi netted the 

sealing goal in the dying seconds to make it 3-1. 

Brazil proved to be a much tougher opponent than 

Japan, however the Australians matched it with the 

pre-tournament favourites and the half-time scoreline 

of 0-0 was much deserved after Australia’s best half of 

the tournament. A well-worked Brazil goal just after 

the break proved to be the key moment of the match, 

and despite continued pressure from the Australians, a 

brief loss in concentration by the Socceroo defence in 

the dying moments enabled the Brazilians to score 

again. 

With Brazil’s 2-0 win over the Aussies almost 

guaranteeing the South Americans’ progression, the 

last group stage match between Australia and Croatia 

was to decide the remaining Group F top two spot. And 

it was certainly another pulsating contest with 

Australia having to come from behind – twice – to tie 

the match 2-2 and emphatically qualify for the next 

stage, Craig Moore and Harry Kewell the goalscoring 

heroes. The result saw World Cup fever sweep through 

Australia as the pulsating Croatia match showed the 

drama only provided by the real football.

The emotional roller-coaster ride of Germany 2006 

continued as Australia matched it with the Italians right 

up until just seconds before the end of their Round of 

16 match, the match locked at nil-all. However a 

controversial penalty was then awarded to Italy 

following Grosso’s tumble in the box, resulting in a 

successful conversion by Totti. The 1-0 loss sent the 

Australians home in a state of shock. 

While the last-gasp contentious penalty seemed to be 

the cruellest way to end the World Cup dream, the 

Australian players, coaching staff and fans could depart 

Germany with their heads held high. After such a long 

absence, the Australian national side had matched it 

with the best of the world, in the world’s most revered 

football tournament, and were ultimately knocked-out 

by the slimmest of margins against the team which 

would go on to take out the 2006 FIFA World Cup final. 



Asia calling 

Meanwhile, Australia transferred from the Oceania to 

the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) on January 1, 

2006. The move to Asia was a vital step in the 

development of the code in Australia at all levels, 

especially by virtue of playing in more meaningful 

qualifying series at all national team levels. 

The men’s senior team's first test in Asia was 

qualification for the 2007 AFC Asian Cup. Qualifying 

for the region's premier tournament proved to be a 

relatively easy affair. However the cup itself was not. 

Australia only scraped into the quarter-final stage, 

where Japan knocked the Socceroos out on penalties. 

The appointment of highly-credentialed national 

team coach Pim Verbeek in late 2007 signaled 

Australia’s serious desire to secure a successive FIFA 

World Cup berth in the 2010 tournament. 

A challenging first-stage qualifying phase in a group 

with Qatar, Iraq and China had its hurdles, Australia 

finishing on top (over Qatar) only on goal difference. 

Grouped with Japan, Uzbekistan, Bahrain and Qatar in 

its final qualifying phase, the tough contests continued 

as the prize of 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification got 

closer and closer. Australia ended up comfortably 

finishing in the top two of the group to qualify directly 

for South Africa, a 2-1 defeat over closest group rivals 

Japan in the final qualifier signifying the dominance of 

the Australians throughout the World Cup campaign. 

After the highs of the 2006 World Cup, and the 

relative ease of qualification, expectations were high 

for Australia leading into the 2010 World Cup.

Australia was thoroughly outclassed in its opening game 

4-0 by Germany. Despite finishing the group stage with 

the same number of points as it did four years earlier, 

with a draw against Ghana and win over Serbia, Australia 

failed to progress; the demoralising thrashing by the 

Germans seemed to hang over the heads of the Aussies 

for the rest of their 2010 World Cup campaign. 

Meanwhile Australia had had a bumpy ride on the way 

to qualifying for the 2011 AFC Asian Cup. Despite 

finishing first the in qualifying group; only three points 

separated the top three teams in the group, which 

reminded all that qualifying for tournaments through 

Asia can never be taken for granted. 

Australia comfortably made it through the group stage 

of the 2011 Asian Cup in Qatar. The ensuing quarter-final 

against reigning Asian champions Iraq was a classic, and 

only decided with a Harry Kewell goal in the dying 

minutes of extra time. The Socceroos then really turned 

it on in a 6-0 defeat of Uzbekistan in the semi final, 

which was followed by another 120 minute marathon in 

the final. Ultimately it was Japan who won the Asian Cup 

final match 1-0, meaning Australia will have to wait until 

2015 to possibly take out its first AFC Asian Cup title. 

And expectations will certainly be high for the 

Australians, who will host the tournament in 2015. 

Target: Brazil 

Australia cruised through its first stage of qualifying for 

the 2014 World Cup, a 1-0 loss away to eventual secondplaced 

Oman the only stumbling block along the way. 

The second stage was a different story however, the 

Australians starting with just two points from its opening 

three games. Only the top two of the five-team group 

would get automatic 2014 World Cup qualification. The 

series featured two gripping 1-1 games against Japan. 

The first in Brisbane saw Mark Milligan sent off early in 

the second half and Japan opening the scoring ten 

minutes later, before Luke Wilkshire converted a penalty 

soon after. The Japan leg played out similarly for the 

home and away teams, Tommy Oar making it 1-0 with 

ten minutes remaining only for Japan to make no mistake 

from a penalty awarded in the dying moments. With two 

matches to go in the group stage, Australia were third 

and in real danger of missing out on direct qualification. 

However, wins over Jordan (4-0) and Iraq (1-0) ultimately 

gave Australia a clear buffer for second spot. 

When the 2014 World Cup groups were drawn in December 

2013 – just weeks after the appointment of new coach Ange 

Postecoglou – Australia (59th) had a FIFA ranking well behind 

group opponents Spain (1st), Netherlands (9th) and Chile 

(15th). It will clearly be an uphill battle, but the underdog tag 

is one Australia has relished and revelled in the past. There 

will be nothing to lose for the Socceroos at Brazil 2014.

AUSTRALIA – BRAZIL FOOTBALL CONNECTIONS 

National teams 

The next match played against Brazil by any Australian national team will mark the 50 th meeting between the two 

countries. Since first playing against each other at the FIFA Under-16 World Cup in 1987, Australia has confronted 

Brazil at men’s senior, under-20 and under-16/17, women’s senior and under-19/20, Futsal and Paralympic levels. 

Australia’s highest-profile victory against the Brazil senior team was a 1-0 win in the 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup 

third-place playoff, while two 0-6 drubbings for the Socceroos at the hands of Brazil (1997 Confederations Cup final, 

2013 international friendly) were noteworthy for the opposite reason. 

Other memorable Australia-Brazil clashes include: 

• a scoreless draw in the group stage of the 1997 Confederations Cup to deny Brazil a new all-time world record 15 

international wins in a row; 

• a 0-2 defeat for the Socceroos in the 2006 World Cup in Germany; 

• a final group round 3-2 win by Australia to secure first place in Group C at the 2003 FIFA Under-20 World Cup, 

with Ange Postecoglou coaching the Young Socceroos at the time; 

• draw and a loss on penalties by the Joeys against Brazil in the 1999 FIFA Under-17 World Cup final in New Zealand; 

• one-goal losses by Australia in all confrontations for the senior women’s side against Brazil at the Olympic Games 

(2000 and 2004) and World Cup (2011). 

Brazilian players in Australia 

Star players in the NSW state league in the early 1970s included Brazilian imports Hilton Silva, Agenor Muniz and Luis 

De Melo. All three played a role in Hakoah-Sydney City’s Championship success in the first National Soccer League 

(NSL) season 1977. Over the remainder of the NSL years only a handful of Brazilians played in the league, including 

Nelio Borges (Sydney City, Sydney Croatia and Canterbury Marrickville), Ayrton Andrioli (West Adelaide), Alex 

Moreira (Carlton, Northern Spirit, Adelaide City and Newcastle United), Edgar Aldrighi (Perth Glory) and Fernando 

Rech (Brisbane Strikers and Parramatta Power). In total, 15 Brazilian players competed in the NSL from 1977 to 2004. 

It has been a different story in the A-League however, with almost 40 Brazilians playing a part in the national 

competition in its first nine years. In terms of most appearances, the most prominent Brazilians in the A-League have 

been Cassio (Adelaide, 124 A-League appearances), Daniel Cortes (Wellington Phoenix, 106), Henrique (Brisbane 

Roar, 96) Reinaldo (Brisbane Roar, 92), and Fred (Melbourne Victory, Wellington Phoenix and Melbourne Heart 61). 

The highest-profile guest appearance from Brazil in the A-League was Romario (Adelaide United 2006/07 season), a 

World Cup winner and former FIFA World Player of the Year. 

Santos tours 1972–1973 

Brazilian club side Santos made two visits to Australia in the early 1970s, playing an Australian XI in 1972 in Sydney 

(2-2), and the Victorian state side in Melbourne in early 1973 (Santos won 2-0). On both tours Santos was led by Pele, 

regarded by many as the world’s greatest player ever. 

FIFA Club World Cup 

Australian Champions of 1999, South Melbourne, travelled to Rio De Janeiro in 2000 to take part in the first FIFA Club 

World Cup. Coached by Ange Postecoglou, Souths put in a respectable performance, albeit without a win against 

Vasco Gama (Brazil), Nexaca (Mexico) or Manchester United (England).

FIFA WORLD CUP HISTORY 

The world's first international football match was 

played in Glasgow in 1872 between Scotland and 

England. The first international tournament, the British 

Home Championship, took place in 1884. 

As football began to increase in popularity in other 

parts of the world, it was held as a demonstration 

sport at the 1900 and 1904 Olympics. At the 1908 

London Olympics – four years after FIFA was founded – 

football became an official competition. Great Britain 

won the first gold medal. 

In 1914, FIFA agreed to recognise the Olympic 

tournament as an official world football championship. 

This paved the way for the world's first 

intercontinental football competition, at the 1920 

Olympics, won by Belgium. Uruguay won the next two 

Olympic tournaments in 1924 and 1928. 

Due to the success of the Olympic tournaments, FIFA 

decided to stage and organise its own world 

championship. FIFA named Uruguay – the winners of 

the previous two football world championships – as 

the host country of the inaugural FIFA World Cup 

tournament in 1930. Uruguay defeated Argentina in 

the final to be the first nation to win the World Cup. 

Due to the difficulties in travelling before World War 2, 

only a small number of nations outside of the host 

continent took part in the first three FIFA World Cups 

1930, 1934 and 1938. 

Following the World War 2, the FIFA World Cup 

resumed in Brazil in 1950, where Uruguay won it again 

by defeating the host nation in front of 200,000 people 

at Rio De Janeiro's Maracana Stadium. 

Returning to Europe, the 1954 tournament in 

Switzerland was the first to feature 16 teams, and with 

140 goals scored in 26 games, it holds the record for 

most average goals per game (5.4). 

Brazil commenced a long phase of FIFA World Cup 

dominance in 1958, easily defeating host nation Sweden 

in the final. World Cup championship success for Brazil 

continued in 1962 (held in Chile) and 1970 (Mexico). 

Meanwhile the 1966 FIFA World Cup in England 

witnessed a spectacular success for the host nation, a 

Geoff Hurst hat-trick helping the English to a 4-2 final 

win over West Germany at Wembly. 

After unsuccessfully attempting to qualify for the 1966 

and 1970 finals, Australia qualified for its first FIFA 

World Cup in 1974. Losses to host nation and eventual 

1974 Champions West Germany, and strong 

neighbours East Germany, were followed by a 

scoreless draw with Chile, allowing the Aussies to 

return home with a respectable record. 

It was Argentina's turn to celebrate in 1978, as the 

South Americans hosted and won the FIFA World Cup. 

The Netherlands were the FIFA World Cup final losers 

for the second successive tournament. 

In 1982 the tournament expanded to 24 teams, with 

Spain hosting and Italy winning its second FIFA World 

Cup final. West Germany lost its second FIFA World Cup 

final in a row in Mexico in 1986, when Diego Maradona 

inspired Argentina to its second World Cup triumph in 

eight years. The West Germans gained revenge at Italia 

'90, with the 1-0 win over Argentina in the final being 

the last match played by West Germany, as the unified 

German team competed from 1994. 

The first FIFA World Cup played outside of Europe or 

South America took place in 1994 when the USA 

hosted a successful tournament. Brazil won the first 

FIFA World Cup final to go to penalties. 

By 1998 the FIFA World Cup finals had increased to 32 

participants, and it was France who became the first 

team since Argentina twenty years earlier to take out a 

FIFA World Cup final for the first time. 

Amazingly it took until 2002 for the FIFA World Cup's 

two most successful teams to play each other for the 

first time in any FIFA World Cup match, Brazil defeating 

Germany 2-0 in the final of the tournament held jointly 

by Japan and South Korea. 

Australia returned to FIFA World Cup action in 

Germany in 2006, the Socceroos gloriously qualifying 

for the Round of 16 where the Aussies were undone by 

eventual Champions Italy. 

In 2010 the FIFA World Cup went to Africa for the first 

time, where Australia failed to make the group stage in 

South Africa after finishing third on goal difference. 

The FIFA World Cup returns to Brazil in 2014, the 

twentieth edition of the tournament. Russia will host 

the FIFA World Cup in 2018 followed by Qatar in 2022.
