Space planning prioritized the creation of an area focused on the development of high-performance athletes. The land is home to eight football pitches with official dimensions and professional quality. The Brazilian delegation received exclusive use of two of these lawns.

Seleção Brasileira athletes approved the field conditions after the first movement. The technical committee highlighted that training on a surface identical to that of the games accelerates adaptation to the bounce of the ball and the speed of plays in a reduced space.
