🎥 All for a sixth star! Brazil even christens its World Cup plane | OneFootball

The Seleção are the most successful nation in World Cup history with five titles. At the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, the Brazilians are aiming for a sixth triumph. To achieve that, they are even taking rather unconventional measures. Shortly before departure, the World Cup plane was christened in the traditional way. 

Before the plane carrying the Brazilian national team set off from Galeão Airport for the World Cup camp, it was sprayed on the tarmac by two fire engines. Driving through the water arch is a ritual that normally takes place on special occasions. It is most commonly seen when an aircraft flies a new route for the first time. For the Seleção, it is meant to pave the way for the next World Cup title.
