Host Community Information
A Beloved National Passion: Futebol (which Americans call soccer) is as much a part of Brazilian life as the equatorial sun. Played on dirt fields, concerete playgrounds, in the streets, and on the oceanfront, futebol is enjoyed by young children, adults, and seniors alike. The Brazilian national soccer team is continuously among the best in the world, and the country is one of few with foundations dedicated to capturing soccer statistics and history. Fans watch the statistics closely, and businesses and entire towns close down during important tournaments!

A large stadium seating 66,000 fans, is the home for Esporte Clube Bahia, a Brazilian team from Salvador. This is the 6th largest stadiium in Brazil. The stadium, named Estádio Fonte Nova, is located adjacent one of Global Volunteers' work sites.
