During the first months of 2023, the qualifying tournaments were held for the FIFAe Nations Cup 2023the most important tournament of nations in FIFA 23 of the year. For South America there were only three places and the same players knew in advance that Brazil would fight for the first position. In the qualifying final, they beat Argentina in both games.
Peru and Venezuela, on the other hand, would face each other for the third position and the last place in the World Cup. The national team would manage to win both games and thus join the squad of the best teams in the world to play the FIFAe Nations Cup 2023.
Brazil’s path to the title
Unsurprisingly, Brazil came first in their group with 20 points, followed by Turkey with 18, Australia with 13 and Singapore with 13. Spain and Portugal failed to score enough points to advance to the next round of the tournament.
They only lost their last game of the group stage with Singapore, a team that qualified with this victory. Already in the playoffs, he would start from the lower part of the keys against Denmark. It didn’t start entirely well, since the tie forced him to win in the second game or go to penalties. Only one goal was scored in that match in favor of the neighboring country.
Then they would beat Finland very comfortably and in the semifinals they would come face to face with the team that eliminated Argentina: France. The situation of the first series was repeated. They drew 0-0 in the first game and everything was decided in the second, where Brazil would score two goals.
The Grand Final was held on July 14 against the team that dominated in the upper part of the keys. The Netherlands eliminated Australia and since then they have not lost a single game against Morocco and Italy. The Grand Final would not disappoint.
Like the rest of the tournament, the champion would be defined in a two-game series and if there is a tie, everything would be defined by the penalty shootout. The Netherlands would hit the table with a two-nil victory, forcing Brazil to score three goals and not concede in the second game.
That’s how it was, Brazil became strong in defense and took advantage of possession of the ball to find spaces in the Dutch defense. With three goals, the Brazilian team managed to lift the 2023 FIFAe Nations Cup.
