Brazil Overwhelms Canada on the Opening Day of the IFCPF Americas Cup 2025

In a match filled with emotion and technical brilliance, Brazil showcased once again why it is a true sporting powerhouse, delivering a resounding 7โ€“0 victory over Canada in their debut at the IFCPF Copa Amรฉrica 2025.

From the opening whistle, the team took full command of the game through organised possession, high pressing, and sharp passing sequences. Felipe Rafael and Vinicius Ribeiro became the main protagonists of the first half: after a brilliant combination between them, Rafael opened the scoring with a precise strike across goal, leaving the Canadian goalkeeper with no chance. The duo proved unstoppable, capping off the first half with a well-taken goal by Ribeiro.

Brazil maintained its rhythm throughout the entire match. In the second half, the Brazilian coach made three strategic substitutions that injected fresh energy into the attack, resulting in three additional goals and sealing the teamโ€™s dominance.

Meanwhile, Canada displayed defensive organisation and resilience but struggled to contain Brazilโ€™s pace, precision, and superior technical execution.

With this result, Brazil kicks off the Copa Amรฉrica campaign in commanding fashion, reaffirming once again that Brazil never disappoints.
