The Brazil hosted the FIFA World Cup in 2014, a sporting event of great magnitude that attracts thousands of people from many countries around the world. The Brazilian government created several initiatives on physical and also virtual infrastructure to be able to cope with this mega event. This paper presents an e-Government initiative composed by an infrastructure to supply data and information to thousands of supporters and professionals involved with the World Cup. This initiative is described here from the perspective of a Thematic Spatial Data Infrastructure (TSDI) using context information based on an ontological model. This infrastructure provides relevant information about events location and interesting services for user. In this infrastructure, the user can also voluntarily provide spatial information about events and services linked to the World Cup.
