Brazil 2002 World Cup winning squad: Where are they now?

#22 Rogerio Ceni

Then

One of the greatest Brazilian goalkeepers of all time, Rogerio Ceni was perhaps unlucky to play in the era of Marcos and Dida. A Sao Paulo legend, Ceni had an incredible career spending time from 1992-2016 at the Brazilian giants. In 2002 World Cup, Ceni was the third choice goalkeeper and did not make a single appearance in the marquee event.

Now

After spending the entirety of his career at Sao Paulo. Ceni retired in 2016 as a bonafide club legend. The goalkeeper was also a set-piece expert and has scored a number of goals for his club side. Currently, the former Brazil international is the manager of Sao Paulo.

#23 Kaka

Then

One of the greatest playmakers of this generation, Kaka had just started making strides in international football in 2002. The Brazilian first burst onto the scene in 2001 at Sao Paulo and was more of a squad member rather than an important influence in the 2002 World Cup. In fact, Kaka played just 25 minutes in total making only one appearance against Costa Rica. However, 2002 was only the beginning of the legendary career of Kaka.

Now

After the World Cup, Kaka made a move to AC Milan where he cemented his legacy as one of the greatest players of this generation. He then made a big-money transfer to Madrid, where things did not go as expected.

After his ill-fated spell at Real Madrid, Kaka made an emotional return to former team AC Milan before finally making a move to MLS side Orlando City. The Brazilian number 10 still plies his trade for Orlando City and he was one of their top performers last season where he scored 9 goals and grabbed 10 assists in 24 appearances.

Kaka is currently the highest paid player in MLS.
