Brazil have endured so many low ebbs over the past 15 years that it can be hard to remember them all. The historically embarrassing 7-1 defeat to Germany at their own World Cup is just one example, as is the more recent 1-0 loss to Argentina in a World Cup qualifier. There have been six other federation-level failures, as well as the doomed pursuit of Carlo Ancelotti. Recently, they have had two interim coaches, and their World Cup qualifying campaign started well but then hit a slump, leaving them sixth in the 10-team South American group. However, a hard-fought victory over Colombia lifted them to third, and they now have an eight-point buffer between them and seventh, ensuring they will be at the 2026 World Cup.
