In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Palmeiras Has No World Title” is a legendary card of the Brazilian Memes pack, number 13 of the collection, and the 1st best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Palmeiras Has No World Title” meme mean?

The line is used to mock any Palmeiras celebration by pointing out that FIFA never homologated its 1951 title among the ones officially recognized, and it has become a template for dismissing any win as not good enough.

Where does the “Palmeiras Has No World Title” meme come from?

The taunt was born from a calendar quirk: on November 30, 1999, Palmeiras lost the Intercontinental Cup final to Manchester United, and in January 2000 Corinthians won the FIFA Club World Championship by beating Vasco da Gama. Journalist Flávio Adauto, director of the newspaper Gazeta Esportiva and a Corinthians fan, then sent FIFA a fax asking it to confirm his club as football's first world champion; the positive reply made front-page news, and on January 27, during a derby between the two rivals, Corinthians fans were already chanting about their world title. Palmeiras claims the 1951 Copa Rio as a world title, but FIFA's council, in 2017, did not include it among the titles officially recognized by the governing body.
