About 30 fans, camped in front of the Holiday Inn hotel where the German national team is staying, are enjoying the first sunny spell in the capital city after days of rain. And it seems today is their lucky day.
At around 10:30am, one of the main stars of the team showed up. Schweinsteiger came out through the front door, and got into a car.
- I was able to say hello to him - says Brazilian fan Mateus Brueckheimer happily.
Mateus, along with a group of friends and his female labrador, Anke, was one of the first to arrive, at around 8am.
And if they're patient, they should be able to spot a few more players at around 3pm, when the delegation will leave the hotel and head to Beira-Rio Stadium for a training session, at 3:30pm.
