Brazilian Soccer Team Gets a Museum in Rio

The CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) will open to the public on Friday (1st) the Brazilian soccer team museum in Rio. Filled with technology and interactivity, the space, with about 1,000 m², tells the story of Brazil's soccer team.

The public can even follow the national team backstage during a match using virtual reality lenses. The visitor will have the opportunity to watch the athletes' warm-up, enter the team's locker room or during the pep talk and see part of the game at the stadium.

The equipment is one of the main attractions of the museum, located at the new headquarters of the organization, in Rio.

The images were captured in the friendly match against South Africa, in March, in Johannesburg.

Besides having the various technological interactions, like watching rare old games moves from the national team on a large screen or listening to historical goals narrated from that time, fans will be able to see over a hundred trophies won by the Brazilian team.

The museum also reveals curiosities, like the red jersey worn by the national team in the 1917 South American Championship.

Replicas of the five trophies won by the national team in the World Cups are also displayed in a special room. At the end, fans still have an opportunity to take a picture as if it they were part of the team, now led by Dunga. The souvenir will cost an additional R$ 25.

The price of admission is R$ 22, four times more expensive than the Football Museum at Pacaembu (Sao Paulo). Seniors and students pay half.

Media Pro designed the place. They were also responsible for the Barcelona and Real Madrid museums.

The space is located at Avenida Luis Carlos Prestes, 130, Barra da Tijuca, West Zone in Rio. CBF spent more than R$ 100 million in this new headquarter, inaugurated near the opening of the World Cup this year.
