Brazil national football team
The Brazil national football team, nicknamed Canarinho, represents Brazil in men's international football and is administered by the Brazilian Football Confederation, the governing body of football in Brazil. It has been a member of FIFA since 1923 and was a founding member of CONMEBOL in 1916. It was also a member of PFC, the unified confederation of the Americas, from 1946 to 1961. Brazil is the most successful national team in the FIFA World Cup, winning the tournament five times: 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002. In 114 World Cup matches played, the team has 76 wins, 19 losses, 247 points and a 129 goal difference. It is the only national team to have played in all World Cup editions without any absence nor need for playoffs, and was the most successful team in the now-defunct FIFA Confederations Cup, with victories in 1997, 2005, 2009, and 2013. In FIFA's ranking system, Brazil holds the record for most Team of the Year first ranking wins with 14. Many commentators, football experts, and former players consider the Brazil team of 1970 to be the greatest national squad of all time. Other Brazilian squads are also highly esteemed and regularly appear listed among the best teams of all time, such as the teams of 1958–62 and of 1994–02 period. In 1996, Brazil went undefeated for 35 consecutive matches, a world record which held for 25 years. Brazil has developed many rivalries through the years, the most notable being with Argentina, Italy and Uruguay. Brazil has the highest average Elo football rating over time, and the fourth-highest peak Elo rating of all time.
