Brazil vs. Cameroon filled Imbuí Square.

Bahia 247 - The third and decisive game of the Brazilian team, on Monday (23), brought together thousands of fans in front of the big screen set up in the square in the Imbuí neighborhood, in Salvador.

Before and after the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil match, the public also enjoyed forró shows by Paroara do Acordeon, before the game started, and by Bando Virado no Mói de Coentro, after Brazil's victory against Cameroon (4-1), in an event organized by the State government through the Secretariats of Tourism (Setur) and for World Cup Affairs (Secopa).

Romilda da Conceição, a resident of Imbuí, dressed in green and yellow to sell hats, glasses, horns, whistles—everything in the colors of the Brazilian national team. She celebrates the space created to bring together the people of Salvador and cheer for Brazil. "I watch all the matches here, sell my products, and also cheer for our players, who are my passion."

Public screenings of the Brazilian national team's games are taking place not only in Imbuí, but also in Praça do Braz, in Plataforma, in the Ferroviário suburb. In the interior of the state, large screens have been installed in public spaces in 30 municipalities across various regions, including Cachoeira, Simões Filho, Ruy Barbosa, Campo Formoso, Caetité, Paramirim, and Valença.

According to estimates from the Military Police, in the Imbuí neighborhood alone, around 7 people gathered at the venue this Monday. Meanwhile, in the Suburb, the Military Police estimate that 2 people cheered together for Brazil, even though the match took place on the eve of São João (Saint John's Day).

The expectation is that, by the end of the World Cup, one million people in the state will have watched the national team's games and musical performances by renowned forró artists, such as Adelmário Coelho and Zelito Miranda, alongside Bahian bands that are gaining prominence in events in the capital and the interior of Bahia.
