Brazil — last major trophy
Time since last trophy
Brazil beat Peru 3-1 as hosts at the Maracana to win a record-extending ninth Copa America title — their most recent major trophy, ahead of the 2002 World Cup.
Brazil are the most successful nation in World Cup history with five titles, but their most recent major trophy actually came in continental competition rather than the World Cup itself. As hosts of the 2019 Copa America, Brazil beat Peru 3-1 in the final at the Maracana to lift a record-extending ninth Copa America title. Their last World Cup win remains 2002, when a Ronaldo-inspired side beat Germany 2-0 in Yokohama — a tournament remembered for the strike partnership of Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho. Brazil have since reached one Copa America final since 2019 (2021, lost to Argentina at their own Maracana) but haven't been past a World Cup quarterfinal since 2014, when they suffered a historic 7-1 semifinal defeat to Germany on home soil.
