Facts
- Brazil can rightly lay claim to being called the kings of
football. They have lifted the FIFA World Cup on five occasions.
They also hold the attendance record for their defeat to Uruguay in
front of 200,000 spectators on home soil in 1950.
- Brazil won their first FIFA World Cup title eight years later
in Sweden with a team which included a 17-year-old
legend-in-the-making by the name of Pelé. Their hardest-earned FIFA
World Cup triumph came in 1994, when the Auriverde won on penalties
to
- end a 24-year drought during which their teams struggled to
come to terms with the physical style of opposition teams. Despite
lifting the FIFA World Cup in 2002, Brazil will still have to
qualify for the 2006 tournament.
