Brazil is the only South American country to have ever won a World Cup tournament held in Europe, the 1958 one in Sweden, while no European country has ever been able to take the gold in a championship held outside its home continent.
Brazil je jedina južnoamerička zemlja koja je osvojila Svetsko prvenstvo koje je održano u Evropi, i to 1958. u Švedskoj, dok nijedna evropska zemlja nije uspela da trijumfuje na prvenstvu održanom van njihovog kontinenta.
