Another league which runs through the traditional 'summer' months, Brazil can boast true giants of the game such as Pele's old team Santos, Vasco da Gama and Flamengo. Teams in Rio also get the chance at least once a season to play at the world famous Maracana stadium (Flamengo and Fluminense play all their games there).

A country larger than the continental USA, mostly located between the Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn, with mild temperatures year-round, over 4,000 miles of gorgeous coastline, the largest preserved wilderness on Earth, a rich history and the happiest people on the planet, obviously has a multitude of varied and interesting destinations to offer!
