So here are a few pointers that may be of some help to you.
Where to Stay
While the World Cup games will play throughout the country, in cities ranging from the north to the south, so it is merely a question of what team you’re supporting and what kind of neighbourhood are you seeking.

Rio’s neighbourhoods have plenty to offer depending on your tastes and where you might want to stay.
If you want to make the most of your trip with sensational views and the best bars and bistros for that ultimate Brazilian feel, you might want to check in to the hotels in the Santa Teresa neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro. And if you’re seeking a place near the beach of Rio, then you might want to explore Ipanema and Leblon neighbourhoods. You will find plenty of luxurious and top-notch hotels overlooking the breathtaking beauty of the Copacabana beach in Rio.
Here’s a great tip: you might want to avoid extravagant boutique hotels since travelling and touring within Brazil can get quite expensive.
