This year’s edition of Olympia Brasil, one of the biggest sporting events in the country, which will feature nine categories in its amateur bodybuilding circuit and three divisions of the IFBB (International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness) Professional League, will take place this weekend in São Paulo.
The festival will take place at Anhembi, located at Av. Olavo Fontoura, 1209, in the north of the capital of São Paulo. The official production estimate is that, in total, more than 800 bodybuilders will participate in the championships.

On days when there are championships, the event will take place as follows: amateur athletes will begin competing at 10am and a break will be given at 1pm for professional bodybuilders to perform.
When both IFBB Professional League shows end their previews, the NPC (“National Physique Committee”, the amateur federation that gives access to the IFBB professional card) competitions will return.
The professional finals are scheduled for 4pm, so if the amateur shows have not ended by that time, there will be another break and the tournaments will resume after the conclusion of the professional competitions.
