At the center of the world's imagination, Copacabana is a symbol. It is postcard, it is the stage of historical turns, of crowds in collective trance. And this June, it will also be the heart of the first edition of the FIFA World Cup of Clubs. From 15 to 25, Brazil’s most emblematic edge will house a Fan Zone with free entrance and capacity for up to seven thousand fans a day — a space where the excitement of the stands merges to the sea, sand and sky of Rio.

Organized with the institutional support of the city, the arena will be more than a meeting point: it will be the center of the global celebration of football. Two giant screens will broadcast live all the matches of Rio’s clubs — Flamengo, Fluminense and Botafogo — as well as international clashes of major teams on the world stage.

The opening is scheduled for Sunday, June 15, at 3:00. The program includes three matches, including the awaited confrontation between Botafogo and Seattle Sounders, at 11pm. Tickets are free and can be removed by the platform Symple. The arena will operate throughout the initial phase of the tournament, with the possibility of expanding according to the performance of Rio clubs.

The space will feature high standard structure, including live shows, cultural experiences, attractions for fans and various gastronomic options. Artists with a strong connection to football and Rio clubs make up the musical programming. The proposal is to unite sport, culture and coexistence in the same environment, in a democratic and accessible way.

Each day of the game, space becomes a true arena by the sea. Exhibitions of at least 15 matches in the group phase are planned, including duels such as Flamengo x Chelsea, Fluminense x Borussia Dortmund, Botafogo x Atlético de Madrid, among others. The matches of the other teams will also be shown on the days when Rio clubs enter the field.

The project also includes sustainability actions, such as selective waste collection and material donation to communities and social initiatives in the city.
