Mapping the Beautiful
Game: 2014 Brazil World Cup Maps
ESRI, the supplier of the
ArcGIS suite of Geographic Information System (GIS) software products, has
created a gallery of Story Maps documenting
the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Story Maps combine GIS mapping with
interactive, multimedia content to depict various topics.
The World Cup Maps gallery
includes a map of the Team USA roster, World Cup venues, the history of the
World Cup—including previous host countries, results since 1930, and great past
players. Other maps include tourist
information—Brazil beyond the Stadiums and
Belo Horizonte Restaurants. World Cup Shortlist describes information
about the cities and stadiums of the World Cup.
The World Cup Dashboard allows
users to track live match results and learn about the teams.
The Ball State University
Libraries’ GIS Research and Map Collection (GRMC) provides comprehensive GIS
support with access to ESRI GIS software on 28 computers in the GRMC lab and
computers throughout Bracken Library.
The GIS Specialist in the GRMC is available from 7:30 am through 4:30 pm

datasets, and in-house GIS data for use in research and learning.
