Selecao slump to shock defeat against Bolivia as Ancelotti faces uphill battle
Ancelotti Under Fire as Brazil Crash to Historic Low
The Brazilian national team suffered another humiliating blow in their 2026 World cup qualifying campaign falling 1 - 0 to Bolivia in La Paz on Wednesday morning.
According to Spanish AS, Brazil've endured the worst qualifying campaign in their history finishing only 5th in the South American standings.
Despite boasting 5 World cup titles, the Selecao secured just 28 point .. a staggering 17 fewer than their tally before Qatar 2022.
Over 18 match, Brazil managed only 8 win alongside 6 defeat & 4 draw. Such numbers are alarming for team long known for dominating CONMEBOL qualifiers.
For comparison, their previous worst record was 30 point in 2002 .. a campaign they still managed to turn around before eventually winning the tournament.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti who left Real Madrid to lead Brazil, now faces enormous challenge. With morale shaken & fans demanding answers, he must fix tactical flaws & restore confidence before the Selecao head into the expanded 48 team World cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
