Hello! And today I want to tell you about a national spot in Brazil 🇧🇷.Football is the national sport in Brazil. The history of Brazilian football begins in 1872-1873. During these years, the priests of the college in Sao Luis organized games - the first football competitions among teams of their students. The rules for the competitions were taken from Eton College in England.
A football match is played between two teams, each consisting of no more than 11 players, including the goalkeeper. The match can't start if either team has fewer than seven 7️⃣players
In 1894, Charles Miller founded the first football club, São Paulo Athletic; later, in 1898, the Mackenzie College club was founded. In 1902, the first official football league in Brazil, the Paulista League, was created.
In the 1950s, the first professional teams appeared in Brazil and the era of Brazilian football began. Stars such as Garrincha, Pele, Romario, and later Ronaldo, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, Neymar, etc. appeared on the world stage.👕👨🔧
Brazil has won the South American Championship 9 times: 1919, 1922, 1949, 1989, 1997, 1999, 2004, 2007 and 2019.🥇🏆
That's all I wanted to say!
