Tavares Bastos Football Court (FIFA Street)

Catete

Set among the tightly packed houses of the Tavares Bastos community in Catete, this compact football court is widely known as the FIFA Street Court. It is associated with and cited as an inspiration for one of the Rio street-football arenas in EA Sports' FIFA Street series. The court is also a filming location: Bruce Banner crosses it during the extended pursuit through the favela in The Incredible Hulk (2008).
