The Arena of São Paulo was chosen to host the opening match of the FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014 and still others will house five games, including one of the semifinals.

Questions about the World Cup: Security

The safety of the 2014 World Cup will be made for about 170,000 agents spread throughout Brazil and in the vicinity of stadiums and within them . The games took place from June 12 until July 13 .

Men and women of the three weapons ( Army , Navy and Air Force ) , Civil Police , Military Police , Federal Police , Federal Highway Police and National Security Force , will be involved in this great security system , which provides surveillance by land, sea and air .

The safety plan is spread over two main sectors . One is called the axis of public safety , which involves policing the areas of stadiums , training centers , public venues , fan fests , attractions , ports , airports , roads and escorting delegations . In Brasilia will be placed a command center and main control , which receive information all twelve venues of the World Cup , each featuring local control centers .

This great security scheme assembled specifically for each of the twelve seats receiving the World Cup games seeks to guarantee the completion of the games and the integrity of all persons connected with the event , which includes leaders , players , fans and technical committees .

Besides increasing the number of cameras scattered throughout the host cities, the Federal Police are testing the use of unmanned aircraft to assist in crowd control. Called UAVs, vehicles are quiet and can be remotely controlled. A similar model is already used to verify the Friendship Bridge in Foz do Iguaçu (PR), a region that borders Paraguay and suffers with trafficking and smuggling.

The creative concept behind the poster ( "a whole country at the service of football - Brazil and football, a shared identity") was what inspired the Crama thinking in drawing winner.

BR Tour: Salvador

During i was in Salvador, Bahia, i had the idea of watching if it would have good ways for access, mainly because tourists. And it had, look the images: 

As I have gone to Salvador, Bahia, I decided see if there were signpost and if they were in good conditions. As result, I’ve see a lot of signpost and almost all them were in Portuguese, English and Spanish, so I got myself surprised with it because even São Paulo, that is bigger than Salvador doesn’t have it.

First construction of São Paulo,  inaugurated by priest Manuel de Nóbrega and José de Anchieta, who wanted to give religious instructions to the natives. Their first “mission” was done in 1/25/1554 (São Paulo’s Birthday). At 1640, Jesuítas were expelled by Portuguese Crown, for their fights with colonist and the religious that defended natives. They only came back after 13 years.

The place it’s pretty much preserved mainly inside the construction. As we from this blog, a lot of people from São Paulo, didn’t knew about the place and his activities. It’s localizes there the Anchieta Museum, José de Anchieta’s crypt, the church from the first mass.
