Throughout the years they’ve produced such stars as Pelé, Garrincha, Cafu, Romário, Roberto Carlos, Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaká and Neymar.
There are currently 2.1 million registered football players in Brazil, and more than 29,000 football clubs. Football is a major part of Brazilian culture and is widely played on the streets and fields throughout the country.
The governing body of football in the country is the Brazilian Football Confederation. Brazil has a unique football system in which each state holds its own competitions (State Championships), while the top clubs are also taking part in parallel federal championships. The Campeonato Brasileiro Série A is the highest tier of the Brazilian football pyramid.
Volleyball is another team sport in which Brazilians have had some fantastic achievements. The men’s national team has won three gold Olympic medals and is currently ranked as the number 1 team on the FIFA World Ranking. The sport is widely played (also as Beach Volleyball) and followed by millions of Brazilians.
It is often said that Brazil’s love affair with volleyball started on July 26, 1983, when their national team played an exhibition game in the legendary Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro, in front of 95,000 fans. Brazil won the game 3-1 starting a real craze for the game.

The discipline evolved into a popular combat sport and has become one of the key elements in the development of the modern-style MMA, which is now one of the most followed sports in the country.
The most successful Brazilian fighters in the history of MMA include Anderson Silva, Royce Gracie, and Wanderlei Silva.
