🔙 Dusting off: Brazil’s last title turns 7 | OneFootball

Last Sunday (5), the Brazilian National Team was knocked out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the round of 16 after losing 2-1 to Norway.

As a result, a record sixth World Cup title is looking more and more distant — after all, it has already been 24 years.

And the situation is so complicated that the Brazil senior team's last title turns seven years old this Tuesday (7).

With a 3-1 win over Peru at the Maracanã in 2019, Brazil won its ninth Copa América title, with goals from Everton Cebolinha, Gabriel Jesus, and Richarlison.

Before becoming the Brazilian fans’ "last joy" in football, the 2019 title had ended a drought that had already lasted 12 years in the continental tournament.

Between the 2007 and 2019 triumphs, the Brazilian National Team lifted the trophy of the now-defunct 2013 Confederations Cup — a "warm-up" event for the 2014 World Cup.

At that time, the fans who packed the Maracanã, confident of yet another Brazil title, could still "make fun of" Lionel Messi, since Argentina had not lifted a trophy since 1993.

Under coach Tite, Brazil’s standout players in the 2019 Copa América-winning campaign were forwards Everton Cebolinha (the team’s top scorer with three goals), Gabriel Jesus, Roberto Firmino, and midfielder Philippe Coutinho.

Brazil opened the 2019 Copa América with a 3-0 win, then drew 0-0 with Venezuela and thrashed Peru 5-0.

In the quarterfinals, they beat Paraguay 4-3 on penalties after a 0-0 draw in regular time.

In the semifinal, Brazil saw off Argentina 2-0 and, in the final, claimed a 3-1 win over Peru.
