The Football Museum sits beneath the stands of the historic Pacaembu Stadium, opened in 1940, and tells how football became part of the identity of Brazil, the only country to have won the World Cup five times. It opened in 2008 and is an interactive museum of screens, sound and games rather than halls of trophies. Its rooms follow the game from its arrival in Brazil in the late 19th century to great players such as Pelé and Garrincha, World Cup moments and the culture and chants of the fans, and one of its best-loved corners lets you take a penalty and measure the speed of your shot. It suits families and football fans alike, and entry is free on Tuesdays. A combined ticket with the Museum of the Portuguese Language downtown is also available.
