Follow Portugal Investment Immigration and Life in Portugal: Following the 2014 Brazil World Cup group stage draw, all major teams have begun selecting their base camps. According to reports from the Brazilian media outlet "Globo Esporte" on December 21, Beijing time, Portugal has established its base camp in the city of Campinas, São Paulo state. The training base has been set at the Moisés Lucarelli Stadium, and the team has chosen to stay at the Hotel Royal Palm Plaza. It is worth noting that Portugal's star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, will receive special treatment, as he will have a suite of his own.
Brazil's "Globo Esporte" revealed that the reason the Portuguese team chose the city of Campinas is largely due to its proximity to Guarulhos International Airport. This airport is a transportation hub in South America with very convenient air travel, making it easy to reach match venues. Portugal's three group stage matches will be held in Salvador, Brasília, and Manaus, respectively; departing from this airport, it will not take much time to fly to these venues, which is clearly very beneficial for Portugal's preparations. Currently, the Portuguese team is the only one staying at the Hotel Royal Palm Plaza, while Nigeria is still in negotiations with the hotel. It is reported that the Portuguese team has booked a total of 70 rooms. Additionally, out of consideration for tactical secrecy and focused preparation, Portugal is also planning to build a wall to completely separate the Portuguese team from other guests. "Globo Esporte" joked, "This will prevent spies from watching the training sessions of stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani."
As one of the top superstars in world football today, Cristiano Ronaldo will naturally receive special treatment at the Hotel Royal Palm Plaza. It is reported that CR7 will stay in a very luxurious suite. It is worth mentioning that the hotel will provide him with a PlayStation console to help the international superstar pass the time outside of training and matches, as players are not allowed to go out privately during the World Cup. Perhaps playing games in his spare time will give CR7 more inspiration on the pitch.
In the Brazil World Cup group stage, Portugal has been drawn into Group G alongside Germany, the United States, and Ghana, and the outlook for advancing is not optimistic. In addition to Portugal, the German team has also finalized its World Cup base camp. The German squad will stay in a luxury hotel currently being built by a German company, with construction costs reaching as high as 7 million euros. It is evident that World Cup preparation is a comprehensive competition; only by handling every detail to the best of one's ability can a team perform at its peak on the field.
