Natal secures World Cup stage

Natal in Brazil’s north east has just been given the honour from football’s ruling body FIFA to become a host city for the 2014 World Cup. Already a favourite with property investors, this coastal paradise will now be showcased on TV sets across the globe.

Samantha Gore, Sales & Marketing Director of Brazil specialist agents uv10 comments, “We couldn’t be happier - Natal put on a very impressive pitch in order to become one of the host cities. This decision cements the great investment opportunity offered by property in and around Natal and we expect interest to accelerate in the run-up to 2014. Owing to its huge popularity it can already be tricky to find rental accommodation in Natal’s more desirable catchment areas such as the chic beach resort of Pipa, and recent investors will be delighted at this news.”

Samantha continues, “Major global sporting events automatically improve local transport links and facilities, we can only imagine the effect the World Cup will have on the area, particularly with the new airport on the way in Natal which is set to be the largest in South America. Here in Natal the Brazilian property market is far from its peak and there’s plenty of growth to be seen between now and 2014.”

As Brazilian president Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva said “soccer is more than a sport for us, it’s a national passion” and having won the Cup five times, they certainly have the credentials for a good event. It’s a real opportunity for Natal to enter the global stage and the real estate market has received a welcome boost.
