The Brazil Fan Community on Fanpath

Brazil's fan diaspora in North America is enormous — significant Brazilian communities exist in Miami, New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Orlando, and Toronto. For the World Cup in North America, many Brazilian-Americans and Brazilian-Canadians will be traveling domestically to support the Seleção.

Brazil fans are known globally for their samba, drums, yellow-and-green carnival atmosphere, and unwavering support. In the Fanpath Brazil community:

  • Find Brazilian fans — from Brazil and the diaspora — traveling to the same matches
  • Coordinate shared accommodation with verified nation-mates
  • Match Seleção tickets at face value — Brazil matches are consistently among the highest-demand of any nation
  • Organize and find fan gatherings, samba nights, and Brazilian community events in every host city
  • Form or join a Squad for the full tournament journey

Miami: Particularly strong for Brazil fans. South Florida has the largest Brazilian-American community in the US. Brazil matches in Miami will approach home game atmosphere.

Travel Tips for Brazilian Fans

Flights from Brazil: Direct LATAM and Azul flights from São Paulo (GRU/CGH), Rio de Janeiro (GIG/SDU), and several other Brazilian cities to Miami, New York, and Los Angeles. For Canadian cities or Mexican cities, connections are typically through Miami, New York, or Mexico City. Book flights 6+ months in advance for World Cup travel windows.

US visa: Brazilian citizens require a B1/B2 US visa for travel to the USA. Apply through the US Embassy in Brasília or consulates in São Paulo, Rio, Porto Alegre, Recife, and Manaus. Processing times extend during high-demand periods — apply immediately if you haven't yet.

Canada visa: Brazilian citizens require a Canada Tourist Visa or eTA (check current requirements — regulations may change). Apply through the IRCC website.

Mexican cities: Brazil vs Mexico at Estadio Azteca or Estadio Akron would be one of the most electrifying matches of the tournament. Brazilian fans do not require a visa for Mexico — 30-day tourist entry without documentation beyond a valid passport.
