The Estádio Castelão can be found in the popular tourist destination Fortaleza. The stadium dates actually back to 1973, i.e. it was not built specifically for the 2014 event.
Belo Horizonte, which means 'beautiful horizon', is the home of the Estádio Mineirão. Its metal working and textile industries make Belo Horizonte an important economic centre but the city is also well known for its culture.
Until 2007, Salvador was the home of the Estádio Fonte Nova that had been erected in 1951 but was demolished and has been re-erected in recent years. The Arena Fonte Nova of today is a modern stadium with a roof made of light metal; it can accommodate 56,000 people.
The Arena de São Paulo will host the opening game in which Brazil plays Croatia. The Arena is home of the Corinthians Paulista sports club which is why it is also called Arena Corinthians.
Brasília's Estádio Nacional is the second largest stadium in Brazil. It was erected on the site of the former Mané Garrincha stadium that had been built in 1974 and almost completely demolished in 2010. Sustainability was an important factor in the rebuilding process, and the new stadium is now easily accessible with public transport. The roof is extendable and ensures that events can take place at any time and independent of the weather.
Visitors to the geographical centre of South America will not only find cattle farms and light industry but also the Arena Pantanal. It was built in 2010, in Cuiabá, a city with a population of only 554,000 and hence the smallest playing venue. The stadium can accommodate almost 43,000 people but the modular structure allows for the upper parts to be dismantled such that the capacity will eventually be smaller.
The Estádio Beira-Rio, or Estádio José Pinheiro Borda, as it is officially called, was built in 1969 and refurbished and extended in 2014. Seats, ramps and accesses are now protected by an innovative roof construction. The renovation work was carried out in several steps such that the stadium could be used even during that phase.
The Arena Amazônia is the stadium of Manaus, in northern Brazil, where the Rio Negro meets the Amazon. The stadium was built with sustainability in mind. For example, rain water is used to flush the toilets and to water the green, while the sun is used as an energy source. In addition, a special coating of the roof keeps the interior cool and saves energy.
To make room for the Arena das Dunas, the previous stadium of Natal was demolished in 2010. Natal is the easternmost point of Brazil and is also called 'sun city'.
Curitiba is one of the cleanest and safest cities in Brazil and has an excellent metro bus system. This system will be much appreciated by the spectators who want to attend the football matches in the Arena de Baixada. The Arena de Baixada, formerly known as Estádio Joaquim Américo Guimarães, was originally built in 1914 and modernised in 2013 for the upcoming football event.
