MotoGP is coming back to Brazil! Goiânia will host the most exciting sport on earth from 2026 to 2030, thanks to a new agreement between MotoGP, the Government of Goiás and Brazilian Motorsport.
The Goiânia International Racetrack, which hosts the events, hosted Ayrton Senna for the first time in MotoGP from 1987 to 1989. The sport was subsequently held elsewhere in Brazil, before going on hiatus for nearly two decades, with the tournament ending in 2026 after the renovation of the venue in Goiânia was completed.
Brazil has an established fanbase and has already won MotoGP with Alex Barros. Rising star Diogo Moreira, Moto2™ Rookie of the Year, looks set to give the fans even more encouragement as we return. MotoGP aims to expand its audience in the coming seasons, with both Brazil and South America being key markets with a lot to offer.
For fans who come to see the most exciting sport on earth in Goiânia, the city balances green spaces and high urban development with its commitment to environmental and cultural preservation. A modern, planned and vibrant city, Goiânia is the capital of the state of Goiás, known as the “Heart of Brazil” and close to the country’s capital.
For Goiânia and Goiás, the benefits of hosting MotoGP make it a win-win as the sport offers on-track spectacle, off-track entertainment and an unrivaled adrenaline shot. MotoGP brings hundreds of thousands of fans to the greats and leads by example – every event creates a positive economic and social impact as it showcases engineering excellence and road safety. With a reputation for attracting major companies and international investment, contributing to its already famous economic growth, Goiás is the perfect home for MotoGP in Brazil.
Brasil Motorsport, the driving force behind the continuity and success of the Formula 1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix, will work with MotoGP in partnership with the Government of Goia to bring this event to life in Goiania.
“The return of MotoGP to Goiás is a historic landmark for us. Goiania will be home to the MotoGP in Brazil for the next five years. “We are working to ensure that the infrastructure and services provide drivers, teams and fans with an unforgettable experience,” announced manager Ronaldo Caido.
“The Brazilian Motorsport Group has a history of working with major sports leagues and organizing major events. Based on this experience, I am confident that MotoGP will be a great success in Goiânia. With entertainment attractions, strong brands and passionate fans, it will be one of the most exciting sporting events in the world.” We will have it.” Brazilian Motorsport CEO Alan Adler has proven a mix for success.
Carmelo Izpeleta, CEO of MotoGP rights holder Dorna Sport, added: “We are very excited to be back in Brazil. We have great fans who we know are very excited about this news as we are excited to get them back racing again, and this new deal provides a great opportunity for the sport and our manufacturers to expand in a key market. Brazil is a global player and a place we always believe deserves a place in our calendar. It is an opportunity that we are very excited to work with Goyas and the Brazilian Motorsport Government, who have an impressive and proven track record.
