The Selecao head to Qatar with the sole goal of ending their two-decade wait for this trophy. Will the South American giants win their sixth title? Here's how you can follow Brazil's matches in the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

About Brazil in FIFA World Cup history

Brazil have a long and rich history in this tournament. Not only are the Selecao the most successful nation in the FIFA World Cup, winning this prestigious competition a whopping five times, but the South American giants are also the only nation to have appeared in every single edition of this tournament. Additionally, they are the only other side besides Italy to win back-to-back FIFA World Cup trophies, pulling off this feat in 1958 and 1962. Brazil would lift the title an additional two times in 1970 and 1994 but their last successful campaign in this competition came back in 2002 in South Korea/Japan.

Who is Brazil's coach for the 2022 FIFA World Cup?

The five-time champions are under the reign of Tite, one of the most experienced managers in this tournament. The Brazilian tactician has been in this field for over three decades, dating back to his unexpected appointment at Guarany midway through the 1990 Segundona. Prior to his appointment as the Selecao boss back in 2016, the 61-year-old managed several clubs, many of which were in Brazil – namely Gremio, Corinthians, Atlético Mineiro, and Palmeiras – while also overseeing a one-year spell in charge of UAE side Al Ain.

All eyes will be on Tite as he will be tasked with the job of bringing the trophy back to Brazil. While the manager has delivered silverware during his spell, winning the 2019 Copa America, FIFA World Cup glory remains the ultimate goal.

Brazil's expectations ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup

Given that Brazil have not won this tournament in two decades, the Selecao will enter Qatar 2022 with only one task in mind: to lift the trophy at the Lusail Stadium, the venue for the latest FIFA World Cup final. Neymar and Co. haven't been placed in the toughest group and should thus make the round of 16 without complications, but the knockout stage is where things could get tricky, as the South American heavyweights could face Portugal or Uruguay.

Brazil: Key players for the 2022 FIFA World Cup

The first name is a no-brainer: Neymar is the Brazil national team's star man. The PSG superstar admitted that Qatar 2022 could be his final FIFA World Cup and as a result, there will be pressure on the former Santos sensation to deliver. Fortunately, the 30-year-old has been in exceptional form in the build-up to the tournament, scoring 12 goals and racking up an additional nine assists in his first 16 appearances in 2022/23.

Another icon of the game who will bid farewell to the FIFA World Cup in November is Thiago Silva. The former PSG and AC Milan center-back has reminded everyone of his quality thanks to his brilliant displays at Chelsea, impressing in the Premier League despite his age. If the Selecao are to win the title, then they will need their veteran defender to perform at his best.

And finally, a special mention goes to Vinicius Junior, one of the hottest young attackers in world football. The Real Madrid sensation enjoyed an explosive campaign in 2021/22, helping the Spanish giants to the UEFA Champions League and La Liga titles, and has continued this form into the current campaign. The Blancos ace plays on the left wing, which is Neymar's traditional position, meaning Tite might not play Vinicius Jr. in every game. However, having an attacker of his ilk, both in the starting eleven and off the bench, will be crucial.

Brazil's roster for the 2022 FIFA World Cup

Goalkeepers: Alisson (Liverpool), Ederson (Man City), Weverton (Palmeiras)

Defenders: Danilo (Juventus), Dani Alves (Pumas UNAM), Alex Sandro (Juventus), Alex Telles (Sevilla), Thiago Silva (Chelsea), Marquinhos (PSG), Eder Militao (Real Madrid), Bremer (Juventus)

Midfielders: Casemiro (Manchester United), Fabinho (Liverpool), Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle), Fred (Manchester United), Lucas Paqueta (West Ham), Everton Ribeiro (Flamengo)

Attackers: Neymar (PSG), Vinicius Jr. (Real Madrid), Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal), Antony (Manchester United), Raphinha (Barcelona), Richarlison (Tottenham), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal), Rodrygo (Real Madrid), Pedro (Flamengo)

Brazil's 2022 FIFA World Cup schedule

The Selecao have been placed in Group G and have been drawn against Serbia, Cameroon, and Switzerland. Given that Nati eliminated France from Euro 2020, they should not be underestimated. Additionally, Serbia won their qualifying group ahead of Portugal to secure an automatic ticket to Qatar and should hand the Brazilians a test.
