FIFA World Cup Mexico: Brito, who helped Brazil conquer the 1970 FIFA World Cup Mexico, has passed away aged 86. He had been hospitalised for a week with complications due to pneumonia, Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said.

The centre-back made his Brazil debut in 1964 and made one appearance, against Portugal, in the global finals two years later. Brito then played every minute of every game as ‘The Beautiful Team’ won Mexico 1970 in style.

The CBF condoled the passing of Brito, former defender and world champion and expressed its solidarity with his family, friends and fans.
