Brazil had not been eliminated at this stage of the tournament since 1990 and, on top of that, is now enduring the longest title drought in its history.

The fifth title was won on June 30, 2002, which means the Seleção will go at least 28 years without lifting the trophy.

Previously, the "record" had been from 1970 (third title) to 1994 (fourth world title).

But now is the time for a fresh start and to look ahead in an attempt to recover the glories of the past.

In this way, coach Carlo Ancelotti begins the cycle for the 2030 World Cup in just two months.

On September 25 and 29, Brazil will face Australia away from home, in the cities of Townsville and Brisbane. 

The experienced Italian coach has the mission of rebuilding the National Team, after all, names such as Alisson (goalkeeper, 33), Alex Sandro (full-back, 35), Casemiro (defensive midfielder, 34), Danilo (center-back/full-back, 34), Marquinhos (center-back, 32) and Neymar (forward, 34) are expected to say goodbye to the "Amarelinha" after the elimination against Norway.

Since the elimination to Croatia in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, which culminated in coach Tite's departure, the Brazilian National Team has been led by Ramon Menezes (interim), Fernando Diniz, Dorival Júnior and Carlo Ancelotti.

In 2026, the Italian coach, who already has his contract renewed until 2030, was in charge of the National Team in nine matches, with six wins, two losses and one draw.

The 2030 FIFA World Cup celebrates the tournament's 100th anniversary and will be hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco, with matches also in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay.

Brazil will have 1,431 days, or 205 weeks, totaling 3 years, 11 months and 4 days to prepare for the start of the 2030 World Cup.
