Brazil's worst team in history.

On the morning of September 10th, the Brazilian national team concluded their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign in South America with their lowest ever record after a 0-1 defeat against Bolivia.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti was unable to prevent Brazil from suffering a defeat against Bolivia.

Brazil earned 28 points with 8 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses, achieving a win rate of 51.85% in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. For the first time in the history of South American qualifiers, since the adoption of the 10-team round-robin format, Brazil failed to reach 30 points.

With only 28 points, Brazil finished ahead of only one team, Paraguay, in the group of teams that qualified directly for the biggest football event on the planet. This is the Samba team's weakest performance ever.

Previously, Brazil's worst campaign was in 2002, finishing in 3rd place with 30 points, including 9 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses, achieving a win rate of 55.6%. However, this time, "Selecao" struggled with few wins (8 out of 18 matches), many losses (6) and a high number of goals conceded (17 goals in 18 matches).

Brazil is behind Argentina (38 points), Ecuador (29 points), and Colombia and Uruguay, both with 28 points but with a better goal difference. Fortunately for Brazil, the 2026 World Cup in the USA will be expanded to 48 teams. If the number of qualifying teams were limited to 32 as in previous World Cups, Brazil would have to participate in an intercontinental play-off.

Clearly, Brazil faces many questions about its future and its preparation for the next major tournament. The last time Brazil won a major title was at the 2019 Copa America. Brazilian football has gradually lost its standing since winning the 2002 World Cup.
