Goalllll .... aand its am amzing win for Brazill....
Stadium Municipal Paulo Machado de Carvalho
Electric
experience at Soccer stadium Sao Paulo-Pele glorified.
I'm not a huge football fan but
toured this brand new football museum while visiting Sao Paulo. The Football Museum is a thematic
museum, located in the Stadium Municipal Paulo Machado de Carvalho. My husband took me there in celebration of our wedding anniversary,
I relented because there was a Brazilian gourmet tour agenda following. I have not a
single regret believe me…
The three storied building enclave
explains Pele's life and achievements. There is an entire wing which is
"interactive" and you'll be challenged to beat Pele's scoring,
dribbling and running feats. I have never seen so much footage on the game and
past World Cups. The historical data is impeccably
documented and illustrated. It is a fabulous collection and you can see how
much hard work has gone into the setup.
The museum features many highly ultra
modern and state of the art technology in interactive audiovisual resources.
Pictures of great players such as Pelé, Zico and Ronaldo are projected on large
screens, and narrated displays introduce their life stories in the history of
the sport.
Club histories are also represented
with every intricate memorabilia, flags, banners, posters, and other personal life
photographs.
My Son Ridge who loves hi end
technology, a “virtual field” was God sent. It allows visitors to kick an
imaginary ball into a 3D goal. He took a shot, ofcourse he didn’t beat Pele but
am sure he felt what it was to experience an international field virtually.
Very high and assorted incredible
content on all the ABCs of football is on display. It's a must-see for anyone
visiting Sao Paulo.
They have Pele's entire foot balling
history there, in almost every format. You can take your time and find out all
about him, interesting facts and quotes. I remember my Uncle who is a reverend
priest, who first introduced me to a Pele film as a tribute to me finishing my
ICSE exams as a teenager and then Pele has stuck in my mind ever since. He is
inspirational and after a visit here…God you want to play football for sure…
The history of Brazilian football is
exhaustive and impressive, highlights of each and every world cup competition
since 1930, videos and portraits of Brazilian former players dominate the areanas.
The best audio show were the radio sound bites which covered the matches were
replayed to bring back life like memories of each goal on full volume speakers
which transport you to the game. Tickets aren’t very expensive but you can
always show your student ID card to get a very good discount.
Keep almost three hours for the tour, and if you have kids remember to keep your wallet full as the souvenir shop is highly rated and you can’t come away with out a FIFA replica ball or T shirt, can you!!
