After exiting in the quarter-finals of World Cup 2018 and finishing as runners-up at Copa America 2021, the Selecao are gunning for glory in Qatar.
Brazil have won the World Cup a record five times, and they are eying their sixth title in Qatar 2022.
Tite’s side finished runners-up at Copa America 2021 after being beaten by Argentina last summer but will be hoping to go one better on the global stage, having also reached the quarter-finals at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
What will Brazil need to do to become world champions for the first time since 2002? GOAL takes a look at the Selecao’s potential route to the final.

Brazil finished top of Group G with six points, with Switzerland coming in second place with equal points but an inferior goal difference. The five-time champions started strong by beating Serbia 2-0, then edged out Switzerland 1-0, but fell to Cameroon 1-0 on matchday three.
Brazil have finished top of Group G which means they will face the runners-up from Group H. South Korea finished behind Portugal in that pool, which means Brazil will face the Taegeuk Warriors for a place in the quarter-finals of the competition on Monday.
The game will go ahead on December 5, 2022 at Stadium 974. The game is set to kick off at 7pm GMT (2pm ET).
If Brazil beat South Korea, they will face the winner of the round of 16 clash between Croatia and Japan.
That quarter-final will take place at 3pm GMT (10am ET) on December 9, at the Education City Stadium.
If Brazil make it through to the semi-finals, they will face either the winners of Argentina/Australia or Netherlands/USMNT.
The semi-final will take place on December 13 at 7pm GMT (2pm ET) at Lusail Stadium.
Brazil will meet a team from the other side of the bracket.
England/Senegal, Spain/Morocco, France/Poland and Portugal/Switzerland are all potential opponents.
