History [ ♠ edit ]
FIFA Era [ edit ]
Ever since the early days of the FIFA Futsal World Cup, Brazil have been a ♠ force to be reckoned with on the international scene. The Auriverde claimed the trophy at the first three editions of ♠ the showpiece event, at Netherlands 1989, Hong Kong 1992 and Spain 1996, but were outstripped by their futsal bête noire, ♠ Spain. La Furia Roja proved to be too strong for Brazil in the Final of Guatemala 2000 and at the ♠ semi-final stage of Taiwan 2004, where they went on to take the title once more. Brazil won their 4th and ♠ 5th titles in Brazil 2008 and Thailand 2012, beating Spain in the finals of these two editions respectively. They are ♠ known for defeating East Timor 76–0 in the 2006 Lusophony Games in Macau.
