Brazil national cerebral palsy football team is the national cerebral football team for Brazil that represents the team in international competitions. The team has been active internationally, and was ranked third in the world in 2016. At the 2015 IFCPF World Championships, they came away with a bronze. This was an improvement on 2011 when they finished fourth. Their best ever finish was second at the 2003 World Championships. Appearing at multiple Paralympic Games, Brazil won silver in 2004 and bronze in 2008.

Background

Brazil lined up for the start of a match at the 2016 Salou tournament.

Associação Nacional de Desporto para Deficientes oversees the national team in Brazil.[1] During the 2000s, the team was one of the top four most dominant teams in the world alongside Russia, Ukraine and Iran.[2] In 2012, the team was coached by Paulo Cruz.[3] In February 2014, a coaching workshop was held in the country to try to further develop the sport. Brazilian and Argentine coaches participated in it.[4]

National team development is supported by an International Federation of Cerebral Palsy Football (IFCPF) recognized national championship. Recognized years for the national IFCPF recognized competition include 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.[5]

In 2016, after getting an endorsement by the World AntiDoping Agency (WADA), the IFCPF Anti-Doping Code was formally amended to allow for out of competition testing. This was done through a WADA approved Whereabouts Programme managed through ADAMS. Drawing from players in a Registered Testing Pool, players from this country were included ahead of the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio.[6]

Ranking

In 2016, Brazil was ranked third in the world by the IFCPF.[7] The team is also ranked first in the Americas.[8] In November 2014 and August 2013, they were ranked third.[9][10] In September 2012 and September 2011, Brazil was ranked fourth.[11][12]
