In the group stage of the 2014 World Cup, the Brazilian national football team will play three matches: with Croatia, Mexico and Cameroon. They will take place on June 12, 17 and 24, respectively. All fans of this national team have been waiting for the start of football battles at the World Cup for four years.
The first match of the championship will take place at the Arena Corinthians stadium in Sao Paulo: the hosts will compete with the Croatian national team. In total, the arena will host six World Cup matches. 48,000 spectators will be able not only to enjoy the game, but also to appreciate all the technical innovations of the stadium, which was commissioned only this year, as well as to admire the world's largest video screen located on the east stand. It is at the stadium in Sao Paulo that the Brazilians will play with the Croats.
The Brazilian national team will play their second group stage match at the Castelan Stadium in Fortaleza. The capacity of the sports facility is even larger - 66,700 people. The stadium, built back in 1973, was reconstructed for the World Cup, and the number of seats increased by almost 17,000. This stadium can be called rubber: in August 1980, for the Brazil-Uruguay match, there were almost twice as many people armchairs.
Brazil will play their third group stage match against Cameroon at the National Stadium in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. The stadium bears the name of the genius "lame football player" Monet Garrincha - the legend of the last century, the symbol of "Botafogo". The sports facility, erected in 1974, was completely rebuilt for the World Cup. Now 69432 fans can burst into joy or weep with chagrin in a single impulse.
