Since then, the Maracanã Stadium has been the stage for great moments in Brazilian and world football, such as Pelé's thousandth goal, finals of the Brazilian Championship, Carioca Football Championship, Copa Libertadores de América and the first FIFA Club World Championship, in addition to international competitions and matches of the Brazilian National Team." - https://www.estadiodomaracana.com.br/ "Maracanã, where the most important Brazilian football derbies take place, has also been the setting of historical moments of the international football. Monumental events, such as Pelé's thousandth goal in 1969, also took place on the pitches of the Brazilian football temple. Inaugurated on June 16, 1950, the stadium has hosted World Cup games that year and a few matches of the 2014 World Cup, including the grand finale. It also hosted the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, opening and closing ceremonies of the 2007 Pan-American Games, and more recently the 2016 Olympic Games and 2019 America's Cup. In addition to sporting competitions, Maracanã has already hosted important events such as concerts of Madonna, Rolling Stones twice, Paul McCartney, Tina Turner, Foo Fighters, Coldplay and outdoor masses with Pope John Paul II in 1980 and 1997." - https://en.tourmaracana.com.br/estadi.... "WSDG was invited to design the Audio and Video Systems for the entire stadium and public areas, covering over 100,000 m2 including:

• Sound system for all spaces including the soccer field, audience and internal spaces such as VIP rooms, access, and offices.
• Video systems including two large LED video walls (100m2 each) and over 400 video displays all around the stadium.
• Day Time Displays
• Audio and Video Control Rooms

Electro-Acoustics The complex architecture was simulated in detail using the most advanced electro-acoustic tools and the biggest challenge encountered the design phase was to define the final quantities and location of the PA cluster, in order to achieve the required STI and SPL coverage as required by FIFA for such complex acoustical conditions. Speaker positioning was defined for the internal and external areas, for innumerous zoning maps that can be controlled individually for more flexibility and to comply with security needs. All specific needs of the audio, video were defined to meet FIFA’s requirements and WSDG has recommended the use of 4 x 100m2 Video Walls for proper visual coverage." - WSDG - https://lnkd.in/dn9c3bVe
