From the roof of his home in the Favela do Metrô, Eomar Freitas enjoys
one of the best views in town. Look south and you see the Christ the Redeemer
statue towering over Rio’s mountains. To the north stands the green and
pink headquarters of Mangueira, the city’s best-loved samba school.
And in between, one of the world’s top sporting venues, the blue and grey
Maracanã stadium, which will host the final of the 2014 football World
Cup.
