The Clubs Cruzeiro EC: Cruzeiro Esporte Clube is from the city of Belo Horizonte, in the state of Minas Gerais, founded on January 2, 1921. It is the only Brazilian team to have won the triple crown of Brazilian football for winning the Brazilian League, the Brazilian Cup, and the State Championship in the same year, accomplishing this feat in 2003. Cruzeiro is one of the oldest and most traditional clubs in Brazil. They have never been relegated or removed from the Brazilian. Their development program is considered to be one of the best in Brazil, including their world class facility known as Toca da Raposa (Den of the fox) where their budding professional talent live and train. We have been taking teams and individuals to Cruzeiro for over 10 years and have a great relationship with the club and wonderful experiences training there. Belo Horizonte is the capital of Minas Gerais and is a city of over two million people. It was settled in the early 1700s and today is a fascinating contrast between contemporary and classical architecture including some of Brazil’s most recognizable architectural icons, most notably the Pampulah Church. Vitória EC: Esporte Clube Vitória is from the city of Salvador in the state of Bahia, founded on May 13, 1899. Vitoria plays in Brazil’s top division, the Série A, but more impressive is the list of the players who have been developed by their youth development programs. Dida, Bibeto, Edilson, Vampeta, and Alex Alves are just some of the household names in international Soccer who came out of the Vitoria system and training methods and went on to international soccer stardom. Salvador is the capital of the northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia. It is located on the coast and is known for its miles of pristine beaches as well as its diverse cultural attractions
