One of Brazil’s most prosperous metropolises, boasting excellent organization and quality of life. This is the Curitiba of Coritiba, a benchmark in urbanism, education and environmental solutions. Founded 320 years ago, the capital of Paraná, just like the club, owes its modern formation to European immigrants, especially Polish, Ukrainian, German and Italian settlers. Throughout the 20th century, these people have left their mark on Curitiba. Their essence and abilities have become such a part of the city that, nowadays, the civic and religious festivities of Curitiba offer a vast array of ethnicities, dances, music, cuisine, expressions and influences introduced by these forefathers.
Today, Curitiba, with its temperate climate, large number of parks and expressways, is a strong industrial and service hub. One of the largest in Brazil, in fact. The city has spared no effort in offering professionals and foreign and domestic investors the very best conditions for business. Curitiba now welcomes almost two million tourists/year, the majority of which visit the city for business. In economic terms, the city and metropolitan region’s automobile and software hubs stand out.
Coritiba carries the history of sport in the city. On match days at Couto Pereira, the city comes to a standstill. Supporters tirelessly praise its greatest feats and its leading achievements are perpetuated in green and white stripes. The 100-year old synergy between Curitiba and Coritiba is not merely a nominal factor, it is a relationship of complicity between the city and the state’s biggest team, which takes Curitiba from the north to south of Brazil, and a good part of the rest of the world, too.
