CBF unveil 'Bate no Peito', rallying Brazil fans for World Cup | OneFootball

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) launches its institutional campaign for the 2026 World Cup this Sunday (19), with the goal of calling on Brazilian fans to embrace the Brazilian National Team.

Titled “Bate no Peito” (“Beat Your Chest”), the initiative marks an unprecedented shift in the entity’s communication strategy, as it begins to take an active role in mobilizing fans around the Brazilian National Team not only on the pitch, but also in the collective feeling that moves the country during a World Cup year.

More than a campaign, “Bate no Peito” is born as a call-up. A call for Brazilians to trust, support, and take pride once again in one of the greatest stories in world football.

The movement starts from a recognition: Brazilian football has faced difficult moments before. And it overcame every one of them. The campaign draws on that legacy to reinforce that the relationship between Brazil and the National Team goes beyond results: it lives in the chest of every fan.

As its central piece, the campaign presents a manifesto film narrated not by a character, but by the place where Brazilian pride lives: the chest. The narrative moves through historic moments, victories, doubts, and uncertainties, and then makes room for an emotional turning point, guided by the idea that Brazilian pride never ceased to exist. It was only waiting to be awakened.

The tagline “Bate no Peito” symbolizes this universal gesture of belonging, courage, pride, and identity. A simple yet powerful movement that turns the fans into protagonists and reinforces the collective strength that has always accompanied the Brazilian National Team.

In addition to the film, the campaign unfolds through content initiatives, music, activations, and experiences throughout the National Team’s calendar, expanding the invitation for the whole country to play together.

By launching its institutional campaign, the CBF also reinforces its new phase: closer to the fans, more connected to Brazilian sentiment, and more committed to strengthening the bond that makes Brazil the country of football.
