Brazilian Football Confederation
The Brazilian Football Confederation (Portuguese: Confederação Brasileira de Futebol; Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [kõfedeɾaˈsɐ̃w bɾaziˈlejɾɐ dʒi futʃiˈbɔw], abbreviated as CBF, pronounced Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [se.beˈɛfi]) is the governing body of football in Brazil.
It was founded on 8 June 1914 as Federação Brasileira de Sports, and renamed Confederação Brasileira de Desportos in 1916. The CBD, in addition to governing football, also governed other sports practiced in Brazil. The football confederation, as known today, separated from other sports associations on 24 September 1979.
The CBF is responsible for organizing national championships including the Campeonato Brasileiro and the Copa do Brasil. It also manages the Brazil national football team, which has won the FIFA World Cup in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002, and the Brazil women's national football team, who were runners-up in the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup, as well as the youth teams, both men and women.
The CBF has its headquarters in Rio de Janeiro. The confederation owns a training center, named Granja Comary, located in Teresópolis. The confederation reported a budget of $265.6 million (R$1.5 billion) for 2024, and a projection of $398.4 million (R$2.25 billion) for 2025. Its current president is Samir Xaud.
The origins of the current CBF date back to 8 June 1914, when the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Athletic Sports League (LMEA) and the São Paulo Athletic Sports Association (APEA) founded the Brazilian Sports Federation (FBS), an entity created with the goal of governing not only football but also all Brazilian sports. On 3 March 1915, the São Paulo Foot-Ball League (LPF), a rival of the APEA, founded the Brazilian Football Federation (FBF), aiming to challenge the FBS and become the governing body of Brazilian football.
In 1916, Argentina decided to host the first South American Football Championship, now the Copa América, but a problem arose regarding which entity would represent Brazil in the competition. To remedy this situation, on 19 June 1916, the then Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lauro Müller, took the initiative to meet with the presidents of the FBS, FBF, and LMEA at his residence. After several hours of debate, the creation of the Brazilian Sports Confederation (CBD) was proposed. This culminated in the signing, on 21 June 1916, of an agreement between the entities to merge the FBS and FBF and to create the CBD.
On 24 September 1979, the CBD became the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), due to a FIFA decree requiring all national football entities to be solely dedicated to football. This was not the case with the CBD, which, at the time, was responsible for promoting all Olympic sports, including football.
Giulite Coutinho assumed the presidency of the Brazilian Football Confederation during a period of transition in national football. During his tenure, the Brazilian national team competed in two World Cups. In the 1982 tournament held in Spain, the team managed by Telê Santana was eliminated in the second round by Italy, and in the 1986 edition played in Mexico, again under Telê Santana, Brazil was eliminated in the quarterfinals by France on penalties.
