Carnival Vibes in California

The energy at the Botafogo House in Venice Beach is unlike anything else. The iconic beach in Los Angeles was taken over by Brazilian passion: live music, traditional food, and endless chants turned the event into a celebration that transcended football.

The stunning victory over Paris Saint-Germain lifted spirits through the roof. “We’re experiencing something we’ve never seen before. Botafogo is the best team in the world—we’re going to be champions,” said one supporter who traveled all the way from Vancouver just to see his team.

Superstitions, Jerseys, and Rituals

Amid California’s sunshine and the smell of feijoada, Botafogo fans shared their matchday rituals. One fan proudly revealed that he wears the same jersey after every win. “I have several, but once we win in one, that’s the one I keep wearing—until we lose,” he laughed. “Sometimes I wash it, sometimes I don’t. Depends on the weather.”

Another supporter flaunted her white kit—the one she wore during last year’s Libertadores final. “Since that day, this jersey is legendary. I always watch matches with my dad, and when we do it together, good things happen. It’s our magic combo—dad and the shirt.”

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience

The Botafogo House Tour has become a must-visit destination for Brazilian fans at the Club World Cup. Beyond football, it’s a space for pride, community, and celebration. “It’s not just about winning. It’s about being here, being together, feeling the colors. That’s Botafogo,” shared another fan waving a flag.

With the next round within reach and belief running high, supporters are convinced this tournament could mark a historic moment. “We won, so we’re still dreaming. It’s time to dream big,” one fan said as drums echoed in the background.
