ORLANDO – The Orlando Magic’s popularity is growing rapidly – not just locally and nationally, but globally also.
One country in particular where enthusiasm for the team is at an all-time high is Brazil. During the 2018-19 season, an estimated 70,000-plus Brazilians purchased tickets to Magic games at Amway Center.
In past years, the Magic welcomed Flamengo, a professional Brazilian basketball team, to Orlando for exhibition games. In 2015, the Magic traveled to Rio de Janeiro to play Flamengo on their home court, which gave Brazilian fans the opportunity to watch the Magic in their own backyard.
