What is each team's World Cup story?
Brazil
Brazil are the most decorated team in the tournament's history: 22 appearances, the only nation to play every World Cup, and five titles in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, and 2002. No other country has won it more than four times.
Japan
Japan are at their seventh World Cup and have reached the Round of 16 four times, in 2002, 2010, 2018, and 2022, but never gone further. A win over Brazil would be the deepest run of their history. See the full squads and fixtures on the Brazil and Japan team pages.
