On July 17, 1994, Brazil won the fourth world championship in the United States after defeating Italy on penalties – the game at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena had over 94,000 in attendance and ended goalless in the 90 minutes and extra time. Romário, Branco and Dunga converted the penalties, while the Italians wasted three shots, one of them saved by Taffarel.

The conquest of the team led by Carlos Alberto Parreira ended a 24-year drought for the National Team without winning the World Cup. On that occasion, Brazil was the first country to win the World Cup four times. Eight years later, the Seleção won the pentacampeonato in 2022 at the World Cup held in Asia.
