Sebastian Rieder
From the Amazon in Manaus to the mixed zone in Salvador. Whether at the foot of the favelas in Rio de Janeiro or high above in a helicopter over Sao Paulo, sports editor Sebastian Rieder travels to all of the Swiss national team's match venues with microphone, camera, and laptop. The video journalist presents and describes Oscar Niemeyer's architectural world heritage site in Brasilia, accompanies the head of the Swiss World Cup police delegation before Switzerland's first match against Ecuador, and puts Ottmar Hitzfeld's team through its paces. The emotional reception at the national team camp in Porto Seguro, the culinary skills of the team chef, an exclusive tour with the hotel manager, and the Brazilian euphoria surrounding Xherdan Shaqiri - Sebastian Rieder captures all of this with his camera and provides the details in the text. During his trip, he captures the ecstasy on the Copacabana beach during the World Cup opening match and shows the suffering of the Brazilians in the second match in Fortaleza. The Newsnet reporter conducts a secret interview with a high-ranking agent of the Brazilian FBI and follows an arrest live in the crime-ridden city of Salvador de Bahia. A portrait of three crazy people from Basel-Landschaft who are cycling around the globe for the World Cup and two daring people from Graubünden who are driving across Brazil lighten the story. A Zurich chef melts cheese at the House of Switzerland in Rio de Janeiro and treats the rich and beautiful to Swiss specialties on Sugarloaf Mountain. The VJ takes the pulse of the Swiss football fans and reveals to the reader the rituals and quirks of the Swiss national team players. The climax of the five-week World Cup trip is a report from the Amazon, where deep in the jungle even the indigenous people are infected with football fever – Rieder completed the shooting, editing, presenting, and writing within 24 hours. One week before the World Cup final, the Newsnet editor is the first reporter to publish a statement by the FIFA president on the controversial World Cup, landing the top story on the Tages-Anzeiger's online portal. The trip through Brazil ends with a Zurich teacher teaching at the Goethe Institute in Rio and playing the banned football game "futevolei" in his free time.
