The World Cup flavour stretches beyond the electric atmosphere on the soccer pitch and the contrasting emotions that accompany the results of games. More than often, the social environment often takes centre stage for the flood of fans and sports lovers.
While the players are expected to focus on event itself, they are also partakers of the fun and groove readily on show. Sights seeing, extra curricular activities, historical visits are all part of the comprehensive packages enjoyed by participants. However, one key requirement during the entire stay is a conducive environment. Countries often expend a huge budget on the accommodation of teams, meaning the best hotels are usually booked to capacity.
During the on-going world cup in Brazil, FIFA ranks the 32 teams based on the hotels they currently occupy. Here are the top ten:
Vitória Hotel Campinas Concept is the largest and newest venture network, opened in February 2003. Marco referential quality, the unit has 19 floors and 253 comfortable and modern apartments with wireless internet and audio and video of the latest generation for the convenience of its customers.
The structure of the building is designed to optimize natural lighting and reduce heat load. Pool, Spa Serena (with treatments for relaxation, aesthetics), a full gym Victory Fitness are there for the full use of the team.
The German national team chose to build their own private training ground and hotel on the coast of Bahia, called Campo Bahia. A unique resort of ultra-modern holiday villas and vacation apartments set against the backdrop of Brazil’s Atlantic coastline.
