The record five-time champions return to the scene of their 1994 triumph looking to end a 24-year drought.
It would not be a FIFA World Cup without Brazil.
The South American giants are only team to have featured in every edition of the tournament and are the record five-time champions.
However, they have not lifted the trophy since 2002, crashing out in the quarter-finals in four of their previous five appearances.
The last time Brazil waited 24 years to win the World Cup, they brought their drought to an end on North American soil at USA ‘94.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side will therefore be hoping history repeats itself in Canada, Mexico and the U.S. this summer.
