Brazil

Brazil holds the record for most World Cup titles with 5 (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002). They are the only team to have played in every single World Cup since the tournament began in 1930.

The 1970 squad featuring Pelé, Jairzinho, and Carlos Alberto is widely considered the greatest football team ever assembled. Jairzinho scored in every match — a feat never repeated at a World Cup.

Brazil's yellow jersey (the 'Canarinho') is one of the most recognizable symbols in global sport. The phrase 'jogo bonito' (beautiful game) was coined to describe their distinctive playing style.
