Five-time world champion Brazil is the most successful team in World Cup history. However, they last lifted their hands on this prestigious trophy in 2002 at the World Cup hosted by Korea and Japan.
Brazil was then forced out of the quarter-finals after poor performances at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the 2010 South Africa World Cup, and the 2018 World Cup in Russia respectively, and again in 2014, which saw them settle for fourth after a humiliating 7-1 loss to Germany. The disappointment of the loss will fuel the pursuit of their first World Cup win in two decades when they land on Qatari soil. South American giants Brazil will go into the 2022 World Cup in Qatar as the top-ranked team in the world according to FIFA rankings.
Brazil has won seven consecutive matches in the World Cup qualifier tournament and has become a fear for other teams in the upcoming Qatar World Cup. Now Brazil aims to rely on Neymar, Firmino, Vinicius Jr, and Thiago Silva to lift the trophy once again.
