RIO DE JANEIRO – In the video above, reporter Martin Ainstein offers a tour of ESPN International and ESPN Deportes’ World Cup facilities on Copacabana Beach.

Located at Clube dos Marimbás, the specially-built temporary space includes a master control room, television and radio studios, newsroom, green room, and an outdoor “tower” location that offers a panoramic view of Copacabana Beach. Ainstein provides a look at the World Cup wall mural being painted by Brazilian artist the Jambeiro mural, and he speaks with Vice President, Production, ESPN International and Deportes, Rodolfo Martinez, about the unique set-up.
