Basketball is not for Brazil!
It's football & beach volleyball . . .

Beside football, Auto Racing is also one of the sports which attract large number of audience in Brazil. Brazilian drivers have won the Formula 1 world championship eight times.

Soccer is also one of the most famous sports in Brazil
