Brazil have won the tournament nine times, which makes them the third-most successful team in tournament history behind Argentina and Uruguay (15 each). Brazil withdrew from Copa America for almost ten years between 1926 and 1935.

Founded on 12 October 1909, Coritiba is the oldest "green and white" team in Brazilian football. The club's logo is a green globe with the initials CFC in white across the centre, along with twelve white stylised pine seeds. The logo's colors, green and white, are the same as Paran state flag's.
