BRAZIL coach Dunga has stressed the 2010 World Cup qualifiers are more important than this summer's Olympic Games in Beijing.
The Olympic gold is the only major honour the Selecao have never won but Dunga believes qualifying for the next World Cup in South Africa takes priority.
"The most important thing is to always work in favour of the senior squad," he said. "We have to think about the qualifiers.
"The Olympics Games have some importance, but our mind has to be focused on the cup."
Brazil warm up for the resumption of their qualifying campaign with friendly matches against Canada and Venezuela, before facing Paraguay on June 15 and Argentina three days later.
