The  spatiality of the World Cup of 1950 reflects  the stage of evolution of the Brazilian urban network  back then, still showing coastal concentration and the hegemony of the two national metropolises, with emphasis in Rio de Janeiro. In regards of the intra-urban scale, which matters the most in this work, this sport mega-event produced a low impact in our stadiums. We can argue that not only in that historical context the realization of a World Cup could aggregate a much smaller volume of material investment, but above everything, that in the Brazilian soccer there already were in course a consistent process of popularization. This process was reflected  in the constant amplification of already existing stadiums and in the growing involvement of state power in the production of the spectacle.
