Brazil landed in the United States exactly one month ago, on June 2. Since then, the team has been staying at The Ridge hotel, located in Basking Ridge, a district of Bernards. In its first few days there, in an event organized jointly with FIFA, the team welcomed local residents to watch a training session and interact with the players.

“It is a great honor and joy to be here in Bernards, a city that is already part of the history of the Brazilian National Team, and we very much hope to stay here until the World Cup final. On behalf of the CBF, I thank Bernards and its residents for the hospitality and affection shown to the team,” said Leomar Quintanilha.

For Bernards, the gesture of presenting the key to the municipality represents a symbol of friendship, appreciation, and the lasting bond established between the community and the Brazilians.
