Brazil’s Copa America 2024 Journey: A Look Back and Ahead
Brazil is gearing up for the Copa America 2024 as they look to bounce back from recent disappointments on the international stage. After a tough loss to Argentina in the 2021 edition of the tournament and an early exit in the 2022 World Cup, Brazil is determined to reclaim their place at the top of South American football.
Managerial changes have added to the turmoil, with Tite being replaced by two interim coaches before Dorival Junior took over in January 2024. Despite the challenges, Brazil has automatically qualified for the Copa America, alongside all other CONMEBOL nations.
With a rich history in the tournament, Brazil has won the Copa America nine times, putting them third on the all-time winners list behind Argentina and Uruguay. The team has participated in all 47 editions of the tournament, although they have withdrawn on ten occasions for various reasons.
Brazilian legends like Zizinho and Roberto Carlos have left their mark on the Copa America, with Zizinho holding the record for the most appearances and goals scored in the competition. With a talented squad and a hunger for success, Brazil is looking to add another title to their impressive trophy cabinet in the upcoming tournament.
