Brazil won the play-off 7-0 in Rio de Janeiro, Ademir scoring three, and Jair was top scorer with nine goals. The print shows the eight-team round robin split in halves around the two finalists, then the play-off.

About Champs Ring prints

Champs Ring is the original radial sports bracket. Hyperakt's Deroy Peraza created it for the 2010 World Cup, and it went on to appear in more than a hundred publications and in design exhibitions in France and Spain. Every print shows one tournament's knockout rounds as rings, with the champion at the center.
