Tourists from different parts of the globe want to visit hot and colorful Brazil at least once. This country is famous not only for its carnivals and beaches, but also for its passion for football. This sport is a real religion here, and local fans have a special love for the game.
The Brazilian Serie A football championship is not the most popular championship in the world, but its events are covered in detail by the official 1win website, which compares favorably with competitors with a wide painting of each match.
The old Maracana
Brazil’s main stadium was built back in 1950. Maracana began hosting all the home matches of the Brazilian national team, and was also home to two successful local clubs Flamengo and Fluminense. In 1963, a record was set for the attendance of matches in club football – the duel between these two teams attracted 178 thousand fans. At the national team level, the arena could accommodate up to 180 thousand spectators.
Modern Maracana
At the end of the 20th century, the main Brazilian stadium had to be reconstructed, as FIFA imposed a ban on standing places. Since that time, the Maracana has been closed twice more for reconstruction, and currently accommodates up to 80 thousand spectators at a time. The arena hosted the 2014 World Cup, 7 matches were played here.
Every football fan who has visited the iconic stadiums at least once must visit the Maracana at least once in his life. It is here that tourists will be able to understand from the emotions of fans how much football means to Brazilians, and that this game is in their blood.
