The poster chosen by the inhabitants to represent Curitiba for the 2014 FIFA World Cup features the image of a Brazilian pine tree (Araucaria). Known in Brazil as Pinheiro do Paran叩 (Paran叩 pine tree), this type of tree covered much of the land around Curitiba before the citys foundation in the 17th century. As the tree is also connected to the citys name (Curitiba, a name of indigenous origin, means a lot of pine), it holds a special place in peoples hearts. Known in Brazil and throughout the world for its excellent public transport, sustainable development and strong culture of innovation, Curitiba is home to a mix of people from all over the world who choose to live here in peaceful and culturally diverse harmony. The Brazilian pine rises high into the sky, stretching out its cones like cups. Its as if the whole city is raising a glass in a toast to football. Lets welcome the FIFA World Cup!
