Some experiences cannot be understood through photos or stadium tours. You have to be there when the lights come on, the supporters begin singing and an entire stadium moves behind the same club. One of the planned highlights of Empire Brazil 2027 is attending a São Paulo FC match, subject to the club’s final 2027 schedule. São Paulo FC is one of Brazil’s most historic clubs, and match night at MorumBIS offers players and families the chance to experience Brazilian soccer as

Brazil 2027 will bring Empire to one of IberCup’s international youth soccer tournaments in São Paulo. Founded in 2010, IberCup was created to bring young players from different countries, cultures and soccer backgrounds together through international competition. Its tournaments have welcomed more than 80,000 players from over 50 countries. For Empire players, that means stepping outside the familiar. They will face opponents who may play faster, more physically or with a co

Brazil 2027 will create an opportunity for Empire’s girls teams that goes far beyond playing another international tournament. While Brazil hosts the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup, IberCup is bringing leading girls academies and teams from around the world to São Paulo for a special edition built around this historic moment in women’s soccer. The IberCup São Paulo Girls Special Edition is scheduled for July 2027, during the final week of the World Cup. Our girls will be surroun

Empire Brazil 2027 is happening at an extraordinary moment.

The tournament will run from June 24 through July 25, 2027, with São Paulo serving as one of eight host cities. World Cup matches in the city will be played at Arena Itaquera, home of Corinthians.

We know where we stay matters. It becomes the place where players recover, families reconnect and everyone prepares for the next day of competition and experiences. For Brazil 2027, we have been very specific with our travel coordinators at IberCup about the type of accommodations we want for the Empire group. Our expectations include a minimum four-star hotel, a swimming pool, a comfortable family-friendly environment and a location that gives families convenient access to r

A great international trip is shaped by more than the scheduled activities. It is also shaped by what families can experience when the buses stop running, the games are finished and they have time to explore together. That is why our plan is for Empire to stay in Jardins, one of São Paulo’s most established and desirable areas. Set near Avenida Paulista, Jardins places families close to cafés, bakeries, restaurants, shops, markets and some of the city’s best-known cultural at

Brazil was always going to offer an incredible soccer experience. São Paulo gives Empire the opportunity to experience nearly every side of it in one place. It is a city of legendary clubs, intense rivalries, iconic stadiums and millions of people who live the game every day. São Paulo FC, Palmeiras and Corinthians each represent a different part of the city’s soccer identity, giving our players the chance to see how deeply a club can connect generations of supporters. But Sã

Some countries play soccer. Brazil helped define what the world believes soccer can be. Its five men’s World Cup titles, iconic yellow jersey and generations of legendary players have made Brazil one of the most influential soccer nations in history. From Pelé and Ronaldo to Ronaldinho and Marta, Brazilian players have become known for creativity, confidence and the courage to try something unexpected. That is what makes Empire Brazil 2027 different from simply entering anoth

Brazil is not just another destination on the Empire calendar. It is one of the most influential soccer countries in the world. It is a place where the game is played in stadiums, on neighborhood futsal courts, along the beach and everywhere in between. In July 2027, Empire players and families will have the opportunity to experience that culture firsthand. We are currently anticipating travel from July 19 through July 27, 2027, bringing our teams to São Paulo for an internat
