Oi, the party is at Casa Brazil!

Two Brazilian fan parks have been activated for the thousands of fanatics in Cape Town

Cape Town is playing host to 5200 Brazilian football fans over the duration of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, despite the team being based in Johannesburg. Around 10 000 Brazilian fans arrive in South Africa on 38 chartered flights. More than half of them have chosen Cape Town as their base camp and will occupy hotels around Cape Town Stadium, which will become party central for Brazilians.

V&A Waterfront’s Lookout Village

A special Brazil fan park has been activated at the V&A Waterfront’s Lookout Village, with its panoramic views of Table Mountain, only 300 metres away from Cape Town Stadium itself. The Village is located on the Breakwater Carpark Rooftop, offering a range of entertainment and a host of food and beverage options. The V&A Waterfront’s 2010 Commercial Director, John Elliott, says that the Lookout Village is ready to welcome all the Brazilian fans: “Where Brazil is, that’s where the World Cup is!”

CASA little Brazil in Sea Point

At the same time the Sea Point Civic Centre on the corner of Main and Glengariff is being transformed into CASA little Brazil (the home of little Brazil). During the day the venue will offer a functional, but warm and welcoming exhibition of tourism products, translation services and a Portuguese calibrated e-mail and information service.  By night a Rio style carnival atmosphere will be created with Brazilian dancers in carnival costumes as well as traditional Brazilian and South African gourmet delights and music, allowing visitors a South African - Brazilian experience.

With matches being broadcast with Portuguese commentary and live internet streaming to web surfers, the Sea Point Civic Centre and the V&A Waterfront’s Lookout Village will be the entertainment hubs for Brazilian fans and enthusiasts.

Brazil is a fanatical football nation. It is estimated that over 200 million Brazilians will take an active interest in their team’s fortunes in Africa. Events at the Brazilian fan parks will be communicated on Heart 104.9 fm at 07:20 and 13:40. Oi, don your feathers and lets gooooo!
