Dear 2nd Grade Children,
Here I am in Beria-Rio Stadium
(Which means "by the river") in
Porto Alegre ( Joyful Harbour).
The city, (which earned the
nickname "The Smile City" due to
the friendliness of the people who
live here), lies on the Guaiba
River. This Stadium has held four
Copa Libertadores finals and five
FIFA World Cup matches including
Argentina vs. Nigeria! At that
match I saw Santi and his dad as
I was flying over! I am having a
wonderful time. I do not want it
to end.
Love, Red

3. Porto Alegre, the capital city of Rio Grande
do Sul, Brazil’s southernmost state, boasts
stunning scenes from nature such as the
sunset over Lake Guaíba, one of the most
beautiful in the world. For this reason the
poster features the picturesque Usina do
Gasômetro, a city landmark which doubles
as the best spot from which to watch the
sunset.
The central image of the footballer kicking
the ball and the explosion of this
movement point not only to the greatness
of the FIFA World Cup™ but also to the
whole legacy generated by it, such as
cultural enrichment, technological and
structural development, and economic
wealth, which are represented by the
coloured stripes highlighting the movement
of the foot. The people on the left of the
poster stand for the enthusiasm and the
passion that Porto-alegrenses, as the
locals are known, have for football.
