We’re planning to attend a Brazilian soccer game while we’re in Belo Horizonte — and trust us, it’s an experience you won’t want to miss! The energy in the stadium is electric, and it’s a huge part of the local culture. 🚨 Heads up: The official game schedule in Brazil doesn’t come out months in advance like in the U.S. Instead, it’s typically released 1–2 months ahead of time, so we don’t yet know the exact date of the game. Once the schedule is announced, we’ll update this page with the details. If needed, we may shift dinner plans or other events around the wedding to make sure we can attend together. Stay tuned — and get ready to cheer! ⚽️
