brazil's qualifying for the event marked the first time in history in which a returning champion (the country had won the 2002 world cup) had to play for a berth in the next world cup — that had a direct effect in the organization of the 2006 world cup: since the 1990 world cup, the competition has had an opening match, which is played immediately after the opening ceremonies; until the last world cup, this match was a privilege of the winner of the previous world cup, who would play its first match as the first match of the given world cup, against an opponent from its group, as decided by the official draw (in the 1990 world cup, argentina, winner of the 1986 fifa world cup, played cameroon in the opening match; in 1994, germany, winner of the 1990 world cup, played bolivia; in 1998, brazil played scotland and in 2002 france played senegal). as of the 2006 world cup, because of the change in the rules, with the last champion no longer having a secured berth in the competition, the opening match has become another privilege of the host nation (in the 2006 world cup, germany, as the host nation, played costa rica in the opening match). despite being the returning champion, the brazilian team debuted, against croatia, only four days after the opening ceremonies and the opening match.
