It’s time to take the Brazilian national team shirt out of the drawer, sort out the vuvuzelas, gather the family and start the sweepstakes with friends, because it’s already the World Cup. On the outskirts of São Paulo, there is no shortage of spaces to follow the competition games, have a beer and eat a snack.
For the event, bars have already adapted the decor and are preparing to receive an increase in the public. “We are very excited, we want to receive our friends and customers as if they were in the backyard. With a cold beer and grilled food to feed the review”, says Daniel Faria, 42, who runs Sônego Bistrô, in the south zone of the capital.
He installed televisions both on the ground floor and on the first floor of the bar, called the premium floor, in addition to having a special program offering barbecue, drinks and bar snacks during the period.
On the other side of the city, in the north zone, Arena ZN hopes that the off-season World Cup will bring even more fans. “It’s not that dry weather, that winter climate, so the Cup coincided with summer and the expectation is very high so that we can be six times champions”, says Eduardo Neves, 32, who takes care of the communication of the space, which also has sports courts .
“Since it is a house focused on sports, students and employees breathe sports, and transmitting the World Cup matches at the Arena to the public is being well expected by everyone.”
