Granja Comary football complex is the headquarters and main training center of the Brazilian national football team, which is managed by the Brazilian Football Confederation. It is located in the Granja Comary neighbourhood in the Brazilian city of Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro state, occupies an area of 149,000 m² with 8500 m² of built area.
The facility was purchased by the Brazilian Football Confederation in 1978, and inaugurated in 1987, serving as the headquarters for Brazil's preparations in four FIFA World Cups, between 1990 and 2010 except for 2006 when the squad players started their training in Europe. For the 2014 FIFA World Cup, hosted by Brazil, CBF spent over R$15m (US$6.7m) reforming Granja Comary so it would again be the national team's headquarters during the tournament. Besides the Brazilian national team, Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Flamengo regularly trains in the center during their pre-season. The place is composed of five football fields.
Only players and technical staff will have access to Sector 1, where only the foundations were kept, as almost everything was rebuilt. The 22 double rooms have turned into 30 individual en-suite rooms and six doubles. Sector 1 also has a living room, where players may host their family members. In addition, there is also a games room, videogame room, exclusive gym, special medical room and another for physiotherapy, barber, dentist, podiatrist, pharmacy, service area with launderette, stockroom, print works and restaurant.
