The 2014 FIFA World Cup also has a sustainable positive effect on sales in Latin America. In the last ten years, the adidas Group has been able to increase sales in the region significantly, from € 179 million to € 1.575 billion. The adidas brand in particular, supported by the additional momentum from the 2014 FIFA World Cup, will continue to grow at strong rates in Latin America in the years to come. For the duration of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, adidas has set up a newsroom in Rio de Janeiro called 'Posto adidas'. Throughout the tournament, adidas will create and share content via its social media channels in real-time. adidas' goal is to be the most talked-about brand in social media during the 2014 FIFA World Cup. During the first twelve days of the event, the brand made significant steps towards achieving this goal, be it by growing the @brazuca twitter handle to more than 2 million followers, by sharing content in highly debated moments during games or by giving fans exclusive insights into adidas' partners and federations.
