Indeed, it is the only title Brazil have yet to win despite being crowned world champions a record five times.
Speaking at a World Food Program 'Fill the Cup' campaign, Kaka admitted he would like to be selected as one of the three players over 23 years of age permitted in each squad in China.
"I would like to (play) but I will leave it up to the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) and Milan to decide," he said.
