Table Tennis - Team Brazil

General
Brazil earned their ticket to Tokyo by winning the 2019 Latin American Olympic Qualification Tournament in Peru, and are competing at the Olympic Games for a fourth time.

They are still seeking their first win on the Olympic stage, having lost 3-0 in the opening round to the Republic of Korea on home soil in Rio in 2016. At London in 2012 they were beaten by Hong Kong, China in the first round, and at the 2008 Games they failed to win any of their three group matches against Chinese Taipei, Republic of Korea and Sweden.

But the Brazilians produced an impressive showing at the 2018 World Championships in Halmstad, Sweden, winning four of five group stage matches before beating Croatia in the last 16. They were then defeated by eventual runners-up Germany in the quarterfinals to finish ranked equal fifth - their highest ever finish at the tournament.

Brazil have enjoyed most of their success at continental level. They amassed seven Pan American Games titles between 1983 and 2015, and were beaten by the US team in the semifinals at the 2019 Games. Brazil won the Pan American championship title in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
