Brazil 2002 squad Reunited to commemorate 20 years since their World Cup victory
Brazilians who won the World Cup in 2002 have reunited, but where are they now? The legendary striker Ronaldo Luiz Nazario owns two teams, Cafu is the tournament’s ambassador this year in Qatar, and one of the stars just participated in a Sunday League game in Shropshire!
On Thursday, June 30, 2022, the members of Brazil‘s 2002 World Cup-winning team came together to commemorate their accomplishment 20 years earlier.
On June 30, 2002, Brazil, under the direction of manager Luis Felipe Scolari, defeated Germany 2-0, thanks to a brace from Ronaldo, to win the nation’s fifth FIFA World Cup in Japan/Korea.
In a picture commemorating the team’s win on Twitter, some of its players, including Ronaldo and Rivaldo, could be seen.
Ronaldo was the tournament’s standout player, tallying eight goals to lift South America to triumph.
Rivaldo, his striking partner, was equally crucial to his success, but a youthful Ronaldinho was the tournament’s surprise.
The five-time global champions will be seeking to recover that glory in Qatar 2022 as they haven’t advanced to the World Cup final since 2002.
