Funky Junk recycle band had the honour of being invited by the Brazilian Embassy to provide some entertainment at the Festival of Football, a lead-up event to the FIFA World Cup qualifying match between the (successful!) All Whites and Bahrain that took place just a few hours later at Wellington’s WestpacTrust stadium.

On this same day, Street Football Aotearoa launched their “Road to Rio” campaign to help fund a NZ team to participate in the international Homeless World Cup next year in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The organisers wanted to end the Football Festival with a Brazilian Carnival feel – there was music, capoeira, football and some words of encouragement from the Brazilian ambassador of NZ. Funky Junk gave another energetic performance, with a good dose of axé from Capoeira Resistência too! See the action on our video page.
