Dreaming of experiencing the home of samba football — Brazil?

Don’t just dream it — live it! Join us in the warmth of Brazil and on the world-famous Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro for unforgettable days of beach volleyball and football with the locals.

In Rio, we’ll spend time on the iconic beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon — playing beach volleyball, futebol, and futevolley. We’ll visit a favela and get to know local youth through games, food, and shared experiences. The ball brings us together across language and culture.

You’ll visit the famous Christ the Redeemer statue, watch a football match at the legendary Maracanã Stadium, and have time to rent a SUP board or surfboard, swim, or just relax on beautiful Ipanema Beach. And for a taste of culture — how about exploring the lively, dance-filled Lapa district? Rio offers endless possibilities.
