The Brazil national football team, often called Seleção Canarinho (meaning "Canary Squad"), represents Brazil in men's international football. It is managed by the Brazilian Football Confederation, which is the main football group in Brazil. The team has been a member of FIFA since 1923 and helped start CONMEBOL in 1916.

Brazil is the most successful team in the FIFA World Cup. They have won the World Cup five times: in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, and 2002. They have the best overall record in World Cup history. Brazil is the only team to have played in every single World Cup tournament. They are also the only team to win the World Cup on four different continents.

The Seleção also won the FIFA Confederations Cup four times before it was stopped. In 2016, Brazil won the gold medal at the Summer Olympics. This made them one of only two countries to win all major men's FIFA competitions at all age levels.

Brazil has been ranked as the top team in the world many times. Many football experts believe the 1970 Brazil team was the greatest of all time. Other famous Brazilian teams include those from 1958-62 and 1994-2002. Brazil once went 35 games without losing, which was a world record for 25 years.

Over the years, Brazil has developed big rivalries. Their biggest rival is Argentina, a match known as the Superclássico das Américas. Other rivalries include matches against Italy, Uruguay, and the Netherlands.

Team History

Early Years (1914–1922)

Brazil national 1914
The first Brazil national team in 1914.
Brazil v Exeter City (1914)
Brazil's first home match against Exeter City in 1914.

Brazil's first national team game was likely in 1914. It was against an English club called Exeter City. Brazil won 2-0.

In their early days, the team wasn't as successful as they are now. They played friendly games against Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. However, with star player Arthur Friedenreich, Brazil won the South American Championships at home in 1919 and again in 1922.

First World Cup and Tough Times (1930–1949)

Brazil played in the very first World Cup in Uruguay in 1930. They won one game but were knocked out early. In 1934, they lost in the first round. But in 1938, they reached the semi-finals, losing to Italy. Brazil was the only South American team in that tournament.

In 1949, Brazil finally won an official title again. They won the 1949 South American Championship at home. This ended a 27-year wait for a major trophy.

The 1950 Maracanazo

Brazil hosted the 1950 FIFA World Cup. They only needed a draw in the final game against Uruguay to win the Cup. But Uruguay won the match, which is famously known as "the Maracanazo". This loss was very sad for the country.

For the 1954 World Cup, Brazil changed their team colors from all white to the famous yellow, blue, and green. This was to help forget the 1950 loss. They reached the quarter-finals but lost to Hungary in a very rough game.

Pelé and the First Golden Era (1958–1970)

In the 1958 World Cup, Brazil was in a group with England, the USSR, and Austria. They started strong, and coach Vicente Feola made key changes, bringing in Zito, Garrincha, and Pelé. Brazil won their first World Cup by beating Sweden 5-2 in the final. It was their first World Cup win outside their own continent.

Brazil won their second title at the 1962 World Cup. Garrincha became the main star after Pelé got injured early in the tournament.

The 1966 World Cup was Brazil's worst performance. Pelé was fouled a lot and had to leave the tournament. Brazil lost and was knocked out in the first round. They haven't been eliminated in the first round since then.

Brazil 1970
The 1970 FIFA World Cup-winning Brazil team, considered by many the greatest football team ever.

Brazil won their third World Cup in 1970 in Mexico. This team is often called the greatest World Cup team ever. It included legends like Pelé, captain Carlos Alberto Torres, Jairzinho, and Rivellino. They won all six of their games, beating teams like England, Uruguay, and Italy. Jairzinho scored in every match, a unique achievement. Brazil got to keep the original Jules Rimet trophy because they won it three times.

A Period Without Titles (1974–1990)

After Pelé retired, Brazil struggled to win major titles. In the 1974 World Cup, they finished fourth.

At the 1978 World Cup, Brazil finished third. They were the only team in the tournament that did not lose a single game.

In the 1982 World Cup in Spain, Brazil was a favorite to win. They had amazing players like Sócrates, Zico, and Falcão. However, they lost a classic match 3-2 to Italy and were knocked out. This team is remembered as one of the best teams never to win the World Cup.

Brazil won the 1989 Copa América, ending a 19-year wait for an official championship.

At the 1990 World Cup, Brazil played with a more defensive style. They were eliminated in the second round by their rivals, Argentina, losing 1-0.

The Second Golden Era (1994–2002)

Brazil finally won another World Cup in 1994 in the United States. The team had strong players like Romário and Bebeto in attack, and captain Dunga in midfield. They beat Italy in the final after a penalty shootout. This was Brazil's fourth World Cup title, a new record.

In the 1998 World Cup, Brazil reached the final again. Star player Ronaldo scored four goals before the final. However, Ronaldo became unwell just hours before the final match. France, led by Zinedine Zidane, won the final 3-0.

Brazil won their fifth World Cup in 2002, held in South Korea and Japan. This team was powered by the "Three R's": Ronaldo, Rivaldo, and Ronaldinho. They won all their group games. In the knockout rounds, they beat Belgium and England. In the semi-final, they beat Turkey 1-0. Brazil then defeated Germany 2-0 in the final, with Ronaldo scoring both goals. Ronaldo was the top scorer of the tournament with 8 goals.

Brazil won the 2004 Copa América and the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup. The team had a powerful attack with Ronaldo, Adriano, Kaká, and Ronaldinho.

In the quarter-final, Brazil defeated Colombia 2-1. But their star player, Neymar, suffered a back injury and could not play for the rest of the tournament. Brazil then lost a shocking semi-final match 7-1 to Germany. This was their biggest ever World Cup defeat. The match is known as the Mineirazo. Brazil also lost the third-place game 3-0 to the Netherlands.

In the 2024 Copa América, Brazil was eliminated by Uruguay in the quarter-finals after a penalty shootout.

Team Look

Uniforms

Brazil's first team colors were white with blue collars. After the 1950 World Cup loss, people felt these colors weren't patriotic enough. A newspaper held a competition to design a new kit using the four colors of the Brazilian flag. The winning design was a yellow jersey with green trim and blue shorts with white trim. This design was created by a 19-year-old named Aldyr Garcia Schlee. These new colors were first used in 1954 and have been used ever since.

The blue and white colors for the second kit came from the 1930s. They became the permanent second choice by accident in the 1958 World Cup final. Brazil's opponents, Sweden, also wore yellow. Brazil didn't have a second kit, so they quickly bought blue shirts and sewed their team badges onto them.

Nicknames

The Brazil national team has several nicknames:

  • Canarinho: This means 'Little Canary'. It refers to a yellow bird found in Brazil.
  • Amarelinha: This means 'Little Yellow One'.
  • Seleção: This means 'The National Squad'.
  • Verde-amarela: This means 'The Green and Yellow'.
  • Pentacampeão: This means 'Five-time Champions'.
  • Esquadrão de Ouro: This means 'The Golden Squad'.

Some people in Latin America call the team El Scratch or Scratch du Oro. FIFA's YouTube channel called them Samba Boys during the 2022 World Cup.

Training Camp

Teresopolis-Comary1
Granja Comary complex is the training camp of the national team.

Brazil's main training camp is called Granja Comary. It is located in Teresópolis, about 90 km from Rio de Janeiro. It opened in 1987 and was updated in 2013 and 2014.
