In 2024, capoeira will be featured as a demonstration sport at the Olympics, showcasing its cultural significance and athleticism. While not competing for medals, this inclusion allows audiences to appreciate the art's unique expression, history, and impact on Brazilian culture. Through this platform, capoeira aims to gain international recognition and potentially be considered for future Olympic events.
