Description
This is the fully-customizable short-sleeve away kit for Brazil’s 1956 World Cup Campaign.
Brazil won the first of their five World Cup titles in 1958, putting in some incredible performances at the sixth edition of the quadrennial tournament in Sweden. A Seleção had never gotten to the final of the World Cup prior to their sixth outing at the competition, getting eliminated in the group stage in the inaugural edition in 1930, reaching only the first round in 1934, finishing third in 1938, losing the final of the 1950 edition to Uruguay and only getting to the quarterfinals in 1954.
Vicente Feola-managed and Hilderaldo Bellini-captained Brazil were drawn in Group 4 with England, the USSR (Soviet Union), and Austria, and they started the campaign with a 3-0 win over the Austrians. José Altafini bagged a brace, while Nílton Santos scored the other to help the team to a comfortable victory. The Three Lions held the South Americans to a goalless draw, and their last group game ended in a 2-0 win over the Soviet Union, thanks to a Vavá double. Pelé’s 66th-minute goal helped them to a 1-0 win in the quarter-final against Wales, and that set up a meeting against France in the semi-finals.
Brazil strolled to a 5-2 win, with Pele scoring a hat-trick after Vava’s and Didi’s goals, and the French being reduced to 10 men after 36 minutes had a huge say on the result. Veteran centre-back Robert Jonquet broke his leg after a clash with Vavá, and France had to finish the game without him and a replacement as substitutions were not allowed at the World Cup until 1970.
They also defeated Sweden by the same scoreline in the final, with both Vava and Pele scoring twice, while Zagallo grabbed the other. Pele, who emerged as the best young player of the tournament (17 years old at the time), ended the campaign with six goals, while Vava bagged five, but it was France’s Just Fontaine that won the Golden Boot with 13 goals. Brazilian quintet Hilderaldo Bellini, Nílton Santos, Garrincha, Didi, and Pele made the team of the tournament.
Notable Players: Pelé, Garrincha, Hilderato Bellini, Moacir, Zozimo, Oreco, Mario Zagallo, Didi, Dino Sani, Djalma Santos

It all started when we were around 5 or 6 years old…
We would go to school in the day, and then go back home. Then, we’d be out and about for the rest of the day. We were playing football with the rest of the kids from around our home all day.
We were playing for hours, and we never stopped, even if our moms called us to get inside. We would yell “10 more minutes!”, right before spending another two hours on the field.
It didn’t matter whether it was sunny, rainy, or there was a snowstorm. We were still playing, from Spring to Winter, every single day.
And we were wearing the same jerseys you can find on our store. We are more than a jersey company…
We want to help you Relive the Memories Through Old-School Jerseys.
