The representatives of the Brazilian nation

The Brazilian delegation is counting on the presence of the doctor, federal deputy and head of the Ministry of Sports, André Fufuca, 34 years old, and also the Brazilian ambassador to France, Ricardo Neiva Tavares, 66 years old. The presence of all is confirmed for the opening ceremony of the multi-sport competition, with international participation, which will take place in Paris.

This Friday (26), Janja Lula da Silva will have to attend the welcome event held by Macron, the 46-year-old president of France, and his wife Brigitte Macron, the 71-year-old French first lady. The reception is offered to a wide range of authorities from different countries, and their athletes will participate in the Olympic Games as representatives of their respective nations, in multiple sports.

She will also be part of the debut of the campaign that will promote Brazil in Europe, an initiative by Embratur and Sebrae, which has the title: “Visit Brazil. Here you always win”.

Representing the president

On July 11, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva publicly announced that his wife would represent him as a political and authority figure in all commitments that will take place during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

In a speech, the current president of Brazil, the nation's highest ranking leader, said that he had received an invitation from the president of France, Macron, to the opening of the Olympics. However, Lula said that he would not attend the event, as he had “a lot to do”, and that he would send his wife in his place.
