2014 Venues - Belo Horizonte




Estadio Governador Magalhaes Pinto - or Mineirao, as it's more commonly known  - is a stadium in Belo Horizonte. It will host 6 matches during World Cup 2014.

Recently the Selecao played Chile at this stadium. The match, a 2-2 draw, was played out between a pair of colourful, if identity-free, box-nets.




Let's be clear what identity-free goal nets in Brazil means. Brazil are the most recognised football team in World football yet, given the goal nets, you can't identify even which continent the Selecao are playing on.

Are they playing in London UK?


Or New York City?


It's impossible to tell.

However, the last time Brazil played in Belo Horizonte there could be no mistaking they were playing at home, in Brazil. How can you tell? Look at the goal nets!
