Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Torcida Organizada Fans — The list includes 'Dragões da Real' as a torcida of São Paulo FC, but it is actually a torcida of Palmeiras.

Torcida Organizada Fans — The 'Battle of Pacaembu' in 1995 is described as having exactly 108 wounded, but the number is not consistently confirmed in canonical sources; around 100 is more commonly cited.

Argentina Rivalry — The claim that Brazil delivered 'commanding victories in Copa América finals' in the 2000s is vague and potentially inaccurate: Brazil and Argentina met in Copa América finals in 2004 (Brazil won on penalties after a 2-2 draw, not a commanding victory) and 200

Argentina Rivalry — The 'Legendary Era Matchup=Pelé vs Maradona' is not a factual matchup as they never played against each other in an official match; Pelé and Maradona are iconic figures from different eras, but they never faced off on the field.

Seleção National Identity — The entry states Brazil has 9 Copa América Femenina titles, but they have only 8 (1991, 1995, 1998, 2003, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022) and one runner-up finish (2006).

Pelé Era Dominance — Pelé made his international debut on July 7, 1957, against Argentina in the Copa Roca, not during the 1957 South American Championship.

Maracanã Stadium — The claim that the stadium is 'the third largest in South America' is incorrect; after renovations, it is the second largest in South America.

Maracanã Stadium — The claim that the stadium 'is set to host matches in the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup' is incorrect because Brazil has been selected as the host for the 2027 tournament, but specific venues have not been officially confirmed.

1958 World Cup Legacy — The lore states Brazil had a 3-3 draw against Austria in the group stage; in reality, Brazil drew 0-0 with England, not Austria. Brazil's group stage results were: 3-0 vs Austria, 0-0 vs England, 2-0 vs Soviet Union.

Rio de Janeiro Cultural Base — The 1970 World Cup squad was not 'so heavily populated by Rio-bred talents' that their attacking philosophy became the global blueprint for Joga Bonito, as key players like Pelé and Rivelino were not from Rio.

Rio de Janeiro Cultural Base — The 'Big Four' (Rio de Janeiro's major clubs) have not collectively produced more Brazilian National Team players than São Paulo city and state; São Paulo has produced more historically.

Morumbis Stadium — The claim that Coldplay holds the highest attendance record is misleading; the 439,651 figure is cumulative across multiple shows, not a single-event record, and the highest single-event attendance is a football match.

Morumbis Stadium — The stadium's name change to MorumBIS is stated as December 2023, but the official name change took effect in January 2024.
