Talking about Brazil in a World Cup is talking about the very heart of the tournament. The Canarinha embodies the offensive, creative, and joyful football that many fans have associated with this competition since childhood. Each edition is seen as an obligation to compete for the title, with a demanding fan base that doesn't settle for just playing well: they expect victories, spectacle, and nights that go down in history.
No other team boasts a record like Brazil's: five World Cups, won in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, and 2002, and participation in every tournament edition since 1930. Along with the titles come finals, semifinals, and unforgettable generations that have shaped the evolution of the game. Even in tournaments where they don't reach the final round, Brazil almost always ranks among the teams setting the pace of the championship.
This legend is built with names like Pelé, Garrincha, Zico, Romário, Ronaldo, and Ronaldinho, icons who changed the way football is understood. In recent years, figures like Neymar and a new wave of offensive talents have kept that DNA of flair and imbalance alive. This is complemented by a constant production of players in all positions, supported by a strong local league and the massive presence of Brazilians in major European clubs.
Looking ahead to 2026, experts once again place Brazil among the top favorites for the title. The draw has placed them in Group C, where they will share the stage with a recent semifinalist, a combative European team, and a Caribbean rival eager to surprise. These are their opponents:
For Brazil, the minimum standard is to advance from the group with authority and enter the knockout stages in champion mode, with the declared goal of fighting for their sixth world title and confirming once again why their yellow jersey remains a universal symbol of football.
