In Brazil, soccer is life, and your favorite local team can define who you are. While everyone roots for the national team, rivalries run deep amongst city teams, where the heart of Brazilian soccer really lies.
So for today’s interactive feature, the question is: what’s your favorite Brazilian soccer team?
In Rio de Janeiro, there are four teams: Fluminense, Vasco, Flamengo and Botafogo. I don’t have a preference, since attending a game to see any of the teams play is a wonderful cultural experience.
What about you?

Fluminense will always be my team. The club has such a great history and tradition - and the tricolor jersey is beautiful! Força Fluzão!!!
I’m Paulistano and proud to be a Corinthiano!!! Timão (Corinthians) is the best Brazilian soccer team!!
Well, i’d have to say my favorite Brazilian club team is Sao Paulo. Hands down. I have a brazilian friend and that is his team as well. So, when learning about all the club teams that are in brazil Sao Paulo was the one i naturally gravitated to because, i knew the most about it.
Now, I have really grown to appreciate there style of play, and how the business side of the team is run. They are one of the most economic club teams in brazil. Meaning they spend the least amount of money on players. But, they keep winning as a team. They are a very honest franchise.
Also, they have the best goalkeeper in the game, i think. Rogerio Ceni. He’s sick!
Not to mention they are the most successful club team in Brazil, holding the most national league and international titles of any Brazilian club.
Vai SP!!
Flamengo of course. Is my time by heart, and we are the bigger ‘torcida’ in Brazil. Mengão sempre!
