The 1986 FIFA World Cup Journey
Édson was chosen to play in the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. He started as the right-back in Brazil's first two matches. This happened because the usual first-choice player, Leandro, could not travel with the team.
During the second game against Algeria, Édson got injured early on. He had to leave the field, and another experienced player, Falcão, took his place. Because of this injury, a new player named Josimar got his chance to play right-back in the next game against Northern Ireland. After the World Cup, Édson did not play for Brazil again.
