Confederations Cup in Brasília
Mané Garrincha stadium, in Brasília, will receive today, June 15th, the Brazilian fans for the opening game of the FIFA Confederations Cup. As local Brazilians say the country will stop to cheer and encourage the national team that will face the Japanese players.

The stadium with capacity for 71.00 seats was built based on the concept of green architecture. The roof is one of stars as it was constructed with special materials to absorb and decompose air pollution and reduce internal heat as well.
Although Brasília is not one of the largest soccer centers in the country, the local rivalry between clubs is still strong. Gama and Brasiliense, for example, have already had big moments in national tournaments, while Ceilândia has risen as an emerging force in the region. With the inauguration of a new stadium, the promise is for more thrills in the federal capital, which already counts on the stages of Serejão and Bezerrão, recently reformed.

The Center of decision making in the country, the capital planned by recognized architects Lúcio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer is the mirror of modernity and boldness that took control of the country in the middle of the 20th century. A tourist can visit many important buildings shaped by Niemeyer, such as the Palácio do Planalto, where you can admire Brazilian works of art, furniture by the architect Sérgio Rodrigues and, with any luck, the office of president Dilma Rousseff.
