Florida Cup: Meet São Paulo’s “fortress” in Florida

The impressive IMG Academy sports complex, in Bradenton, is São Paulo’s home in its offseason

São Paulo doesn’t seem to think like many other Brazilian teams, which are unwilling to leave their home town for the offseason. The team now managed by Rogério Ceni chose to start the 2017 season in American soil; more specifically at the IMG Academy, located in Bradenton, Florida.

The Florida Cup was the reason São Paulo opted for the costal state, and it seems the team chose the perfect place for preparation. The IMG Academy causes a first strong impression because of its size and majesty.
