Brazilian Team - all World Championships matches

Brazil won nine of the ten World Championships which happened until 2004. Only in 2001, when Portugal was champion, didn't Brazil win (Brazil finished 4th).
All championships happened in Brazil, and all but one happened in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro. As described at the History section, there is a lot of commercial interest in the Brazilian beach soccer, which favour its realization in Brazil (Sao Paulo, the other major city which could compete with Rio, doesn't have beaches).
Despite the clear dominance of Brazil, two other countries have an important place in the world of beach soccer: Portugal and Spain, one of these teams has been the runner up for the last four championships. Uruguay and Argentina had a presence in the early tournaments, but have not been doing well lately.

Below, the list of all matches of the Brazilian team.
