In Brazil, a country that has won the World Cup 5 times, football is not simply a sport but an art that can bring people endless emotions.
Brazilian children are taught to play soccer from the time they can walk. People play soccer everywhere, on the beach, on the roof of a house, in an empty lot in a favela; from dawn to dusk.
For Brazilians, the football field is not only a place to show off their football skills but also a place to express their artistic approach to the ball. Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini commented that if Europeans write prose while playing football, Brazilians create emotional poems while on the field.
Football brings great happiness to the people of this country, the love of football is deeply rooted in every breath, in the blood of the Brazilian people passionately. On the occasion of the 2014 World Cup held in Brazil, photographers of this country opened exhibitions displaying photos of the passionate love of football of the Brazilian people.
