A Seleção means business. After disappointing 2016 FIFA Futsal World Cup in Colombia where they got knocked out in Round of 16 by a strong Iran side, Marqiunhos Xavier's troops are looking eager to bounce back in Lithuania with style. Brazil is a five-time FIFA Futsal World Cup champion with one silver and bronze medal under their belt. Brazil is regarded as one of the favorites for the tournament in Lithuania and the entire futsal world is looking forward to watching them play!
