The 1938 World Cup was held in France, although it was boycotted by some South American countries who believed that the tournament should be held alternately in Europe and America (1930 Uruguay, 1934 Italy).
The tournament was marked by the pre-war climate that existed before World War II. Despite the boycott, Brazil attended the World Cup and displayed the competitiveness it treasures, reaching the semifinals and getting 3rd place.
