Brazil 1984 Olympics Home Short Sleeve Football Shirt [As worn by Ademir, Dunga & Silvinho]

Description

This is the fully-customizable short-sleeve home kit for Brazil’s 1984 Summer Olympics.

In the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles, Brazil’s national football team delivered a historic performance that secured them their first ever Olympic medal in football. Coached by Cláudio Coutinho and featuring a squad composed entirely of players from Sport Club Internacional, including future 1994 World Cup captain Dunga, Brazil aimed to showcase their football prowess on the international stage.

Brazil was placed in Group C alongside West Germany, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia. The team made an impressive start to their campaign, winning all three of their group matches. Their opening match saw them triumph 3-1 over Saudi Arabia, with goals from Gilmar Popoca, Silvinho, and Dunga. This was followed by a narrow but significant 1-0 victory over West Germany, thanks to a late goal from Gilmar Popoca. Brazil concluded the group stage with a 2-0 win against Morocco, with Dunga and Kita finding the net.

Advancing to the quarter-finals, Brazil faced Canada in a tense match that ended 1-1 after extra time. Gilmar Popoca again played a crucial role, scoring the equalizer. The match was decided by penalties, where Brazil emerged victorious, converting all their spot-kicks to win 4-2.

In the semi-finals, Brazil took on Italy in another gripping encounter. The match went into extra time after a 1-1 draw in regular time. Ronaldo became the hero, scoring the decisive goal in the 95th minute to secure a 2-1 victory and propel Brazil into the gold medal match.

The final, held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, saw Brazil face a strong French side. Despite their efforts, Brazil struggled to break down France’s defense and conceded two goals in quick succession in the second half, resulting in a 2-0 defeat. Although they missed out on the gold medal, Brazil’s silver medal was a significant achievement, marking their best performance in Olympic football up to that point.
