Museu do Futebol
An interactive football museum beneath the stands of Pacaembu Stadium. Pelé, the World Cup and Brazil’s football culture are all on display, along with the chance to test your shooting speed.
The museum sits beneath the stands of Pacaembu Stadium, completed in 1940. It uses video, sound and interactive installations to tell the story of Brazilian football: Brazil’s five World Cup victories, Pelé and Garrincha, the development of women’s football and fan culture. Visitors can also test their shooting speed. The exhibits are mainly in Portuguese, with English-language guided tours available. Admission is about 24 reais. It is free on Tuesdays, and closed on Mondays. The stadium has been converted into a multipurpose venue, and the Charles Miller Square in front has a market on weekends. From Clínicas Station, it is about a 15-minute walk.
