The History of the World Cup: 50 years of excitement and goal

Brazilian Football Confederation

Part I. Presentation

The history of Brazilian football is full

of glories throughout their existence.

Brazil is the only country in this sport that can be

proud to have participated in all the Championships

world championships, including three-time world champion, the

which gave him ultimate possession of the Jules Rimet Cup through the

glorious journeys of 1958, 1962 and 1970.

Football is, as a sport, the passion of the Brazilian people, who

vibrates with the victories of its clubs and delirious with the

achievements of the national team.

It should be noted that in recent years some events

have collaborated negatively within the context of it.

Undoubtedly, the gigantism of the Brazilian Championship, the

absence of an adequate timetable, the lack of

training, among other factors, can be considered

important elements in this process.

However, we have an essential raw material for

That no other country has: the innate quality of the player

brazilian, who has football in his blood, the football-art that

so often dazzled the world. Maybe this is the only one

example in Brazil of the massification of the practice of a sport and

that’s why we’ve reaper so many positive results.

The new board of directors of the Brazilian Football Confederation,

along side comprehensive administrative measures, it wishes to

implement a programme to support the structure of football in

our country. For this, we count on all the powers of our

home and with the understanding of Brazilian sportsmen,

to make our task feasible.

We hope, at the end of the three years of our term,

Carry out part of this program and bequeathe our successors

conditions for its continuity, certain that we are

contributing to the greatness of Brazilian football.
