2014
Brazil qualified for the 2014 Quidditch World Cup. Shortly before the opening games in April, manager Dedé Barbosa called the Welsh Chasers "talentless hags". After Welsh manager Gwenog Jones threatened to "curse [Barbosa's] face off", Barbosa insisted his original remark had been taken out of context.[3] The team rode Varápidos brooms.[1] They defeated Haiti on May 15th to qualify for the quarterfinals, then beat Wales on June 4th to qualify for the semifinals, and beat the U.S.A. on July 5th to enter the final
