This Thursday, MotoGP confirmed its return to Brazil in 2026 in Goiânia, 22 years after the last visit to the country. It is a mutually beneficial opportunity: for the World Championship to enter an important market, and for Brazil, Goiás, and the city of Goiânia with the resulting socio-economic impact.
The Governor of Goiás, Ronaldo Caiado, stated in a press release: ‘The return of MotoGP to Goiás is a historical landmark for us. Goiânia will be, for the next five years, the home of MotoGP in Brazil. We are working to ensure that the infrastructure and services provide an unforgettable experience for riders, teams, and fans’.
From Brasil Motorsport, the CEO Alan Adler highlighted the experience with major events and competitions, believing that the ingredients for the success of the Brazilian GP are in place:
– The Brasil Motorsport team has a history of working with major sports leagues and organising major events. Based on this experience, I am convinced that MotoGP will be a great success in Goiânia. We’ll have one of the most exciting sports event in the world together with entertainment attractions, strong brands and enthusiastic fans. A mix that is guaranteed to be a success.
