FIFA World Cup 2014: Brazil's biggest cities

2. Brasilia

Home to nearly three million people, Brasilia is the country’s capital, playing host to its main governmental functions. If you journey here in order to get in on some FIFA action, you’ll find yourself with a very unique and modern city to explore, one that was only designed and built beginning in 1956.

As far as football is concerned, Brasilia is home to two of the nation’s most successful teams: the Sociedade Esportiva do Gama and Brasiliense Futebol Clube.

Being Brazil’s capital, Brasilia will have a major role to play in both ceremonies related to the tournament and the matches themselves, giving visitors access to some of the best that the FIFA 2014 tournament will have to offer, no matter which club you’re cheering for.

You’ll also get to visit the Nilson Nelson, the city’s state of the art stadium that seats up to 70,000 roaring fans.
