Botafogo

Brazil

Botafogo, a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, shares 203 connections with 1928 other places across 17 topics, anchored heavily in football. The bulk of its connections run through Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas, the club bearing the neighborhood's name, linking it to Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Argentina, and across South America. The Estádio Olímpico Nílton Santos, the club's home ground, served as a 2016 Summer Olympics venue. The neighborhood also appears in the origins of Samba de Gafieira, a dance style traced to Rio's Botafogo, Catete, and Centro districts.
