The Brazil national football team, a dominant force in Copa America history, boasts a legacy of success. Known for its samba style of play, Brazil combines flair, skill, and attacking prowess. Led by star players like Neymar, the team reliably competes for the Copa America title. Brazil have won the contest nine times, which makes them the third-most successful team in contest history behind Argentina and Uruguay. Brazil withdrew from Copa America for almost ten years between 1926 and 1935. They were mainly successful from 1997 to 2007, winning four out of five Copa America Finals during that time. Zizinho, who contested in the 1940s and 1950s, is both the player with the most games and the most goals in contest history, though he shares both records. Pele, the "Player of the Century", has never won the Copa America title and only competed in one South American Championship in 1959.
