In 2002, Rua Jorge Rudge won the competition for best decoration for the World Cup, and the Brazilian team ended up world champion.
Professor Gabriela Rocha said that time was short to organize everything, but there was no lack of excitement and creativity:
"We had five days to do all this and we tried to do our best, our difference is always our ceiling, which we always bring something new, this time Jorge Rudge became Penedo, we put up the umbrellas and we unite the ideas of one and the other".
On the corner of Boulevard 28 de Setembro, one of the main streets in the neighborhood, a large screen will be placed for fans to watch Brazil's games.
