Expo Estádio was successfully launched in 2009 with approximately 100 exhibitors from 15 countries. The event fills a niche that was previously lacking, by providing suppliers for the sports infrastructure market with a platform to address stadiums and sports venues. Expo Estádio is unique in the market in that it focuses purely on the sports infrastructure and equipment.

Brazil is undoubtedly the country with the biggest chances for companies in the sports infrastructure industry for the coming years. As host of the Military World Games 2011, the 2014 FIFA World Cup, and the 2016 Olympic Games, investments in construction, technology and equipment for sports facilities will be enormous.

Following a turbulent 2009, wherein many postponed investments, the projections for Brazil for 2010 look better than ever. The Brazilian economy is already stronger than it was prior to the global economic crisis. With the modernization and expansion of transportation infrastructure that accompany the economic growth, Brazil offers tremendous opportunities for companies in the industry. As one of world`s largest economies, with growing influence, Brazil is no longer a country that can be ignored.

The themes of the event are:

• Design
• Construction
• Furnishing & equipping
• Maintenance
• Management & operations
