São Paulo and Rio are among six cities that will host the World Cup Fan Fest

FIFA made it official this Monday (10) that the celebration of the World Cup will go beyond Doha, Qatar. To unite people in the football celebration, the entity created the World Fan Fest, which will have six venues in addition to the event's capital. Among the chosen stages, two will be in Brazil: Copacabana beach, in Rio, and Vale do Anhangabaú, in São Paulo, which will have seven dates. Dubai, London, Mexico City and Seoul are the other cities chosen.

Copacabana and Vale do Anhangabaú used to bring together Brazilians to watch the Brazilian team's matches and now they will have an official event: the Brahma Fifa Fan Festival arenas. The confidence in having Brazil in the decision is so great that the seven dates chosen simulate the campaign of Tite's men until the search for the sixth championship: November 24th and 28th, December 2nd, 5th, 9th, 13th and 18th, when the title dispute takes place.

It will be the second time in Rio. Copacabana was already the stage for the 2014 FIFA Fan Fest, when the World Cup took place on national soil, with the German title, at Maracanã, and is now in its second edition. Vale do Anhangabaú will be the official stage for the first time. The events in Brazil will only be for people over 18 due to alcohol consumption.

The events in Brazil will be free and with a capacity for 10 people at the venue reserved by FIFA. Fans who want to participate in the celebration in this VIP space will have to register to win tickets. A registration platform will be launched on FIFA+ soon.

“The FIFA Fan Festival was designed to bring fans together beyond the stadiums to experience the best of football, music, culture and lifestyle,” said FIFA Business Director, Romy Gai. “We are honored to collaborate with Budweiser, Corona and Brahma to take the Fifa Fan Festival concept that will reside in Doha and reverberate it at these high-energy global events, bringing the World Cup atmosphere to fans worldwide.”

In addition to Brazil and the capital Doha, England, South Korea, Mexico and the United Arab Emirates will be the other venues for the global Fan Fest. With the difference that in some the tickets are paid.
