The Brazilian national wheelchair rugby team is competing in the World Championship held at the Brazilian Paralympic Training Center in São Paulo. After an initial loss to the Netherlands, Brazil secured its first victory of the tournament with a dramatic 49-48 win over Canada, led by Gabriel Feitosa and Júlio Braz.

In their subsequent match against Australia, the Brazilian team suffered a 59-32 defeat.
