One of the goal nets used in Brazil’s humiliating 7-1 defeat in the 2014 World Cup against Germany will be cut up and sold for charity.
The Mineirao stadium in Belo Horizonte, where Brazil’s footballing meltdown occurred on July 8 four years ago, announced the sale Tuesday.
The net will be cut into 8,150 pieces and sold online for a minimum of €71 a piece, the price, which is about $83, echoing the infamous scoreline.
“The idea is to transform this traumatic incident that everyone would prefer to forget into something positive,” said Mineirao’s director Samuel Lloyd.
Organizers hope to raise at least €500,000($586,000) for charities in Brazil.
