The passionate World Cup supporter arrived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Friday, July 11, mere hours after revealing her newest addition to her extensive collection of body art. Following the gathering, Rihanna and her intimate circle headed to the nearest stream to relax and enjoy the water. Rihanna is scheduled to attend the final match between Argentina and Germany, courtesy of an invitation from a beverage sponsor of the tournament.

Colombian pop sensation and dancer, Shakira, is slated to headline the closing ceremony of the football tournament.

World Cup fanatic Rihanna posted a picture of herself and football legend Pele soon after she landed in Brazil ahead of Sunday evening’s final.

The Barbados-born singer, who has been tweeting her thoughts on the World Cup throughout the duration of the tournament, met the 72-year-old in Rio de Janeiro.

Rihanna appeared thrilled to have met the esteemed Pele, whom she referred to as “the great Pele,” as evidenced by the series of photos she shared on her official Twitter account. The former Santos and New York Cosmos forward also seemed to be in high spirits in the images alongside the pop star.

The “Pour It Up” singer has demonstrated a keen interest in the World Cup, regularly sharing her thoughts on matches since the opening group games of the prestigious tournament. Throughout the past few weeks, Rihanna has shown support for teams like Brazil, Colombia, and Germany.

One player she particularly rallied behind was James Rodriguez, who emerged as one of the standout stars of the World Cup. Despite Colombia’s elimination from the competition by Brazil, Rihanna remained supportive of Rodriguez and his contributions to the tournament.
