Brazil Home Shirt 1998

In 1998, Brazil, managed by Mário Zagallo, reached the FIFA World Cup final in France but suffered a shock 3–0 defeat to the hosts. The squad was packed with stars including Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Dunga, and Bebeto. Brazil topped their group with wins over Scotland and Morocco, then overcame Chile, Denmark, and the Netherlands (on penalties) to reach the final. However, Ronaldo’s mysterious pre-match illness overshadowed preparations, and the team underperformed in the decisive match. Despite the disappointment, Brazil’s attacking flair and Ronaldo’s emergence as the world’s top striker defined their campaign, setting the stage for redemption in 2002.
