Star Sixes Brazilian Team | Roberto Carlos, Rivaldo, Gilberto Silva and more!

The most successful footballing nation of all time, Brazil have won a staggering five World Cups and eight Copa Americas. The roll-call for Star Sixes is as star-studded as it gets, including an incredible six world champions. Rival goalkeepers will have to be on high alert when they face two of the fiercest strikers of the ball to have ever played the game, the legendary pair of Roberto Carlos and Rivaldo – who enjoyed illustrious spells at Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a football kit more instantly recognisable around the globe than Brazil’s. The famed golden jerseys have become synonymous with the bewildering dribbling skills and exhilarating ball control from the likes of Rivaldo, Juninho and Djalminha. The Boys from Brazil have created a unique style of fluent and flamboyant football that has ensured a place in the hearts and minds of football fans the world over.

The Brazilians may be coming into Star Sixes with all the pedigree and experience to storm to victory. Honing their close control and on the sandy beaches of Rio de Janeiro, the indoor arena and smaller format could play to the advantage of a nation where futsal reigns supreme. Will Brazil dazzle the crowd and opposition alike on their way to victory?
