This article is about 2014 FIFA World Cup. For
the video game, see 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil
(video game). The 2014 FIFA World Cup will be the
20th FIFA World Cup, an international men's
football tournament, that is scheduled to take
place in Brazil from 12 June to 13 July 2014.1 It
will be the second time that Brazil has hosted
the competition, the previous being in 1950.
Brazil was elected unchallenged as host nation in
2007 after the international football
federation, FIFA, decreed that the tournament
would be staged in South America for the first
time since 1978 in Argentina, and the fifth time
overall.
The national teams of 31 countries advanced
through qualification competitions that began in
June 2011 to participate with the host nation
Brazil in the final tournament. A total of 64
matches are to be played in twelve cities across
Brazil in either new or redeveloped stadiums,
with the tournament beginning with a group stage.
For the first time at a World Cup Finals, the
matches will use goal-line technology.2
With the host country, all world champion teams
since 1930 (Uruguay, Italy, Germany,England, Argen
tina, France and Spain) have qualified for this
competition. Spain is the defending champion,
having defeated the Netherlands 10 in the 2010
World Cup final to win its first World title. The
previous four World Cups staged in South America
were all won by South American teams.3

Host selection

Main article 2014 FIFA World Cup bids
On 7 March 2003, FIFA announced that the
tournament would be held in South America for the
first time since 1978, in line with its
then-active policy of rotating the right to host
the World Cup among different confederations.45 Th
e decision meant that it would be the first time
that two consecutive World Cups will be staged
outside Europe.
On 3 June 2003, the South American Football
Confederation CONMEBOL initially announced that
Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia wanted to host
the finals.6 but, by March 2004,
the CONMEBOL associations had unanimously voted
to adopt Brazil as their sole candidate.7
During the intervening months, Colombia decided
that it would enter its own bid,8 and formally
declared its candidacy in December 2006.9 A week
earlier Brazil had also formally announced its
interest.10
However, Colombia officially withdrew its bid in
April 2007, leaving Brazil as the only host
candidate.11 On 30 October 2007 FIFA officially
confirmed that Brazil would host the event.12

Main article 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification
The allocation of places for the final tournament
was decided on 3 March 2011, with the
distribution of the 31 places determined through
the qualification process unchanged from that of
the previous tournament.13 The qualification draw
for the 2014 World Cup was held at the Marina da
Glória in Rio de Janeiro on 30 July 2011.1415 As
the host nation, Brazil automatically qualified
for the tournament.
203 of the 208 FIFA national teams at the time
participated in the qualification stages, which
began on 15 June 2011 and concluded on 20
November 2013. 24 of the 32 eventual qualifiers
were present at the previous tournament, with the
only debutant being Bosnia and Herzegovina, which
qualified for the first time as an independent
nation.16 The highest-ranked absentee according
to FIFA World Rankings will be Ukraine,17 while
the OFC region will have no representation at a
World Cup Finals for the first time since 2002.

Dilma Rousseff (2nd from the right)
andPelé (center) following the works in Belo
Horizonte
Eighteen locations were presented as potential
World Cup host cities Belém, Belo
Horizonte, Brasília, Campo Grande, Cuiabá, Curitib
a, Florianópolis, Fortaleza, Goiânia,Maceió, Manau
s, Natal, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio Branco, Rio
de Janeiro, Salvador and São Paulo.19
FIFA proposes that no more than one city may use
two stadiums, and the number of host cities is
limited between eight and ten. The proposal
of Ricardo Teixeira, the then-Head of
the Brazilian Football Confederation, to use
twelve host cities in "the interest of the whole
country" was however accepted by FIFA in December
2008.20
The twelve host cities were announced on 31 May
2009, with Belém, Campo Grande, Florianópolis,
Goiânia and Rio Branco being rejected21 Maceió
had already withdrawn in January 2009. The twelve
selections each the capital of its state
cover all the mainregions of Brazil and create
more evenly distributed hosting than the 1950
finals in Brazil provided, when matches were
concentrated in the south-east and south.22 As a
result the tournament will require significant
long-distance travel for teams.23
A reported US3.47 billion has been spent on
stadium projects.24 Five of the chosen host
cities have brand new venues built specifically
for the World Cup, while the Estádio Nacional
Mané Garrincha in the capital Brasilia was
demolished and rebuilt, and the remaining six are
being extensively renovated.25 The Estádio do
Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, which already holds
the record attendance for a FIFA World Cup Finals
match (199,854), is the largest of the stadiums
and will stage the final. The CBF originally
intended to host the opening match at São
Paulo's Estádio do Morumbi but it was dropped in
2010 and replaced by the Arena Corinthians after
failing to provide financial guarantees for the
required improvements.26
The first new stadium, the Castelão,
in Fortaleza, became operational in January
2013.27 According to Joe Leahy of the Financial
Times, the works in the Castelão, "could set a
precedent for other sporting public works", since
the project "came in within budget and cheaper
per seat" than the Maracanã stadium in
Rio.2829 Six of the venues were used during
the 2013 Confederations Cup.30 Six further
stadiums are however forecast to miss FIFA's
original 31 December 2013 deadline for completed
works.31 The completion of the new Arena
Corinthians has been hindered by a fatal crane
collapse in November 2013 that destroyed part of
the stadium and killed two construction
workers.32
On 22 January 2014, FIFA General Secretary Jerome
Valcke visited the Arena da Baixada site in
Curitiba and stated that the city may be dropped
as a World Cup host city if sufficient progress
in the renovation of the arena was not shown by
18 February.33

The 32 participating teams were to be drawn into
the eight groups of the group stage. In
preparation for this, the teams were organised
into four pots with the seven highest-ranked
teams joining host nation Brazil in the seeded
pot.42 As with the previous tournaments, FIFA
aimed to create groups which maximised geographic
separation and therefore the unseeded teams were
arranged into pots based on geographic
considerations.4344
The final draw for the 2014 World Cup was held
at the Costa do Sauípe Resort, Mata de São
João in Bahia on 6 December 2013.45The ceremony
was presented by FIFA Secretary General Jérôme
Valcke and Brazilian hostess Fernanda Lima with
the balls being drawn by former players
representing the eight past World Cup-winning
nations Cafu, Fabio Cannavaro, Alcides
Ghiggia, Fernando Hierro, Geoff Hurst, Mario
Kempes, Lothar Matthäus and Zinedine
Zidane.46 During the draw additional draw
procedures were applieddue to the uneven number
of teams within the four geographic pots, which
moved one randomly drawn European team from Pot 4
into Pot 2.4748 No teams from the same
confederation were permitted to be grouped
together with the exception of UEFA members,
where a maximum of two could be.4349

Recife International Airport in Recife
The airports in Brazil have been identified as
"the big problem" by the tournament's organising
committee.92 An estimated 600,000 people will
travel by plane to the tournament in addition to
three million Brazilians using flight to travel
between matches.93
Metro in Fortaleza
Legislation was introduced to enable the state's
airport operator Infraero to speed up airport
works.94 However, research by the Brazilian
government in 2011 forecast that 10 of the 13
terminals to be upgraded were unlikely to be
completed in time for the tournament.95Brazilian
President Dilma Rousseff stated that the
government would make "a strong intervention" to
ensure that the airports are ready, including
opening them up to private investment.95 To date,
the management of three airports has already been
handed over to the private sector (earning
10.8 billion),96 with two further auctions
planned before the end of 2013.97
Additional major infrastructure projects have
been taking place across the country on road
systems and light rail and bus rapid
transit lines that will connect the airports to
the city centres and stadiums. Over 4,300 km of
highways will need to be worked on.98 Media
reports however speculate that some of these
transport links will not be completed in time for
the tournament.99100 Over 5 billion is also
being invested to build new hotels ready for both
the World Cup Finals as well as the 2016 Summer
Olympics to be staged in Rio de Janeiro.101
A reported 13 of the original 50 planned
infrastructure works announced by the Brazilian
sports ministry in 2010 have already been
cancelled.102 New projects subsequently
introduced were smaller in scale to those
originally proposed.102 Former Brazilian
footballerRomário, now a political figure,
criticised his country's handling of these
preparations but said that "FIFA's requirements
were excessive".103

The official Brazil 2014 poster
The official logo of the competition is entitled
"Inspiration", and was created by Brazilian
agency Africa.69 The design is based around a
photograph of three victorious hands together
raising the World Cup trophy and its yellow and
green colouring is meant to represent Brazil
warmly welcoming the world to their country. It
was unveiled at a ceremony held during the 2010
World Cup in Johannesburg.69 The design was
selected from the submissions of 25
Brazilian-based agencies invited to submit
designs.70 Brazilian graphic designer Alexandre
Wollner has criticised the design, suggesting
that it resembles a hand covering a face in
shame, as well as the process through which it
was chosen, which had a jury that excluded
professional graphic designers.71
FIFA also commissioned an official poster that
was unveiled in January 2013 and designed by the
Brazilian creative agency Crama.72 The official
slogan is "All in One Rhythm"(Portuguese "Juntos
num só ritmo").73
An official song has been created for every World
Cup finals since 1962. On 24 January
2014, FIFA and Sony Music announced that the
official anthem for the tournament will be "We
Are One" by Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez and Claudia
Leitte.74 Sony has also launched a global music
contest entitled 'SuperSong' to select a song
for the competition's official album.75 The
contest allows any person to submit a song via a
website, with the winning entrant chosen in
February 2014 to be professionally recorded by
the singer Ricky Martin.75 On 10 February 2014,
american Elijah King was chosen with the song
"Vida" ("Life", in English).76
In addition to composed songs, the tournament
also recognises an official instrument
The caxirola, a percussive instrument created by
Brazilian musician Carlinhos Brown.77 They are
designed to create a softer sound than the
African vuvuzela horn that featured prominently
during the 2010 World Cup. However, due to safety
concerns, FIFA later announced that caxirolas
will not be permitted inside the stadiums.78

The Brazilian government has pledged 900 million
will be invested into security forces and that
the tournament will be "one of the most protected
sports events in history".104 FIFA Secretary
General Jérôme Valcke promised "the highest level
of security you can imagine" will operate during
competition.104 It plans to have one police
officer for every 50 people attending matches,
and one for every 80 people at public viewing
events around the country.104
Investment in security measures such as facial
recognition systems and unmanned security robots
has already been made.105 An integrated security
plan has been developed that seeks to gain
information from sources about potential
terrorists, troublemakers and hooligans.106
Security concerns for the tournament have been
increased since large-scale protests occurred
during Brazil's staging of the 2013 FIFA
Confederations Cup with disturbances also
occurring outside the stadiums.107108 Protesters
cited the amount of public money being invested
by the Brazilian government in the hosting of the
World Cup at the expense of social services for
its population as a key grievance.109110111

FIFA forecasts a total of 3,334,524 tickets for
the tournament.112 The majority of these are
distributed to groups such as commercial
affiliates, hospitality clients, media rights
holders and VIPs.112 Approximately 1.1 million
are to be sold to the general public (400,000 to
Brazilian residents only, 700,000 overseas and
Brazilians).112
The sale of tickets to the general public has
been divided into three phases and handled via
FIFA's website and nominated locations in each of
the host cities.113114 There are four categories
of tickets, with Category 4 tickets only being
available to Brazilian residents.112 Discounted
tickets are available to Brazilians aged over 60,
students and those receiving Bolsa
Família welfare.112These are available for as
little as 30 Brazilian reals (roughly US12.50),
while the most expensive ticket of the
competition on general sale is a Category 1 seat
for the final that retails at US990.112 In
addition to individual tickets "venue specific
tickets", which give access to all matches staged
in a host city (during the group stage and round
of 16), and "team ticket series", which give
access to all matches of a chosen team during the
tournament, are also available.112
Tickets went on sale on 20 August 2013 with 2.3
million tickets requested during the first 24
hours.115 By the end of this first phase of sales
in October 2013, over six million requests had
been received from the general public.116 As
demand exceeded supply, FIFA staged a random draw
to allocate tickets with a total of 889,305
tickets being allocated 71.5 of these were sold
to Brazilian residents with the highest number of
overseas sales being to those in the United
States.117 A further 220,000 tickets issued on a
first come, first served basis sold out within
seven hours of being placed on sale in November
2013.118119 A second phase of ticket sales to
run until 30 January began following the final
draw in December 2013, which yielded almost 1.2
million ticket requests within the first 24
hours.120

Filming
Sony will supply the technology for filming of
the games. The games will be produced for FIFA by
Host Broadcast Services, subsidiary of Infront
Sports Media. FIFA TV Director Niclas Ericson
confirmed that the games will be filmed at Ultra
HDTV technology (4K resolution). The announcement
followed a successful test of the tech at 2013
FIFA Confederations Cup, with the sport's
governing body FIFA ready to take the plunge for
the showcase game in Brazil.121
The multilateral camera plan for the games
includes coverage by the inclusion of a cable
system and an aerial (helicopter) camera for all
matches. An up to 34-camera plan has been
proposed, with two new reverse-angle 6m cameras
SSM and mainly used for replays bringing the
number up from the 32 used in 2010.122
Broadcasting

The broadcasting rights covering television,
radio, internet and mobile coverage for the
tournament are sold to media companies in each
individual territory either directly by FIFA, or
through licensed companies or organisations such
as the European Broadcasting Union,Organización
de Televisión Iberoamericana, International Media
Content, Dentsu and RS International Broadcasting
Sports Management.123 The sale of these rights
accounts for an estimated 60 of FIFA's income
from staging a World Cup.124 For a fourth
consecutive FIFA World Cup Finals, the coverage
will be provided by HBS (Host Broadcast
Services),125 in partnership with Sony as the
production equipment supplier.126 The
International Broadcast Centre will be situated
at the Riocentro in Rio de Janeiro.127
The International Broadcast Centre for these
games will be located at the Riocentro exhibition
complex in the Barra da Tijucaneighbourhood
of Rio de Janeiro.

Luz Station in Downtown São Paulo
The Brazilian federal government has earmarked
R3 billion (1.8 billion, 1.1 billion) for
investment in works relating to the 2014 World
Cup, and intends to release a package of works,
entitled the FIFA World Cup PAC (Portuguese
acronym for Growth Acceleration Programme).
According to the Brazilian minister of cities,
Márcio Fortes, the bulk of funds should go to
works pertaining to the tournament itself, but
the total figure will only be defined after a
meeting with representatives of the
municipalities that will host the matches.
"This is only an initial figure. We have not set
a figure yet. These R3 billion will allow us to
take the first step. The total value of projects
is not known yet. We are going to hold talks with
mayors to learn which projects are priorities,"
said the minister. The funds will be supplied by
Pró-Transporte, a financing programme funded by
the Severance Pay Indemnity Fund (FGTS) whose
regulation was passed last year by the fund's
Board of Curators.
According to Fortes, several city councils have
already contacted the ministry and showed
interest in partnership for carrying out
infrastructure work turned exclusively to the Cup
that will be held in Brazil. "For some time now,
the city councils that will host the matches have
been contacting us. The city councils have had
meetings with FIFA and several projects were
outlined. Our approach consists of dealing only
with projects exclusively turned to the Cup. Our
goal right now is not to solve transport-related
issues in the city. We are going to help solve
the issues pertaining to the events," he stated.
According to the minister, another factor to be
analysed by the Ministry of Cities is usefulness
and sustainability of the investment after the
competition is over. "We are not going to deal
with huge projects. The cheapest and most
efficient means of transport will be used. Of
course, each case will be analysed separately,"
he explained.
Fortes stated that the PAC of the Cup is going to
include partnerships with city councils
and state governments, as well as some
partnerships with the private sector. "The
keyword is partnership. The federal government
will not undertake anything by itself. It will be
similar to the infrastructure PAC, in which we
already have partnerships with city councils and
state governments, as well as public-private
partnerships. We are going to review the type of
investment proposed, analyse their size, and the
need for private sector participation, which may
take place in different ways. The private sector
may build and then lease the assets, or perhaps
operate them. All of that will be discussed," he
stated.

Airport in Salvador
The minister also informed that preparations for
the World Cup already include the creation of a
line of financing for renewing the bus fleet
across the country. The line will be made
available by the Brazilian Federal Savings Bank
with total funds of R1 billion (600 million,
375 million).131
To support the sport's development throughout the
continent leading up to the World Cup, FIFA as
part of its "Win in CONMEBOL with CONMEBOL"
program, has invested in building synthetic
football pitches in each country within the
confederation. The football turf pitch in Brazil
is located at the CBF national training center in
Rio de Janeiro and built by a FIFA Preferred
Producer for Football Turf.

Maracanã Stadium, in the city of Rio de Janeiro,
has been chosen for the final match. Maracanã was
inaugurated in the 1950 World Cup. For the 2014
World Cup, among other adaptations, a new cover
will be built. The project also includes
construction of a building for parking, above the
lines of Supervia and subways, with 3,500 parking
spaces. The estimated investment is
R460 million. According to the study of
Sinaenco, there is a need to improve the
visibility for spectators in the first few rows
behind the cabins in the Maracanã, redesign the
facilities for people with disabilities, and
provide general health reform.
The project may also provide for the restoration
of Quinta da Boa Vista and the Museum of São
Cristóvão, in addition to redevelopment and
revitalisation of neighbourhoods includingTijuca.
The Engenhão stadium, completed for the 2007 Pan
American Games, has a capacity of 45,000 people
and will serve as a training ground for the World
Cup.
An investment of R5 billion is required to meet
the requirements that Rio de Janeiro faces in the
final tournament and other games, covering three
areas logistics (roads, railways, ports,
waterways and airports), energy (generation and
transmission of electric power, petroleum,
natural gas and renewables) and social and urban
(light, sanitation, housing, subways and water
resources). In relation to the Rio de Janeiro
Metro, the Ministry of Transport has held a
public hearing regarding the extension of its
lines. The line for the new project is 13.5 km
(8.4 mi) long, and should cross the South Zone of
the city, carrying around 200,000 passengers per
day between six metro stations.132

The New Corinthians Stadium, in the city of São
Paulo, has been chosen for the opening
ceremony. São Paulo's chances of staging
the opening ceremony of the 2014 FIFA World Cup
improved after FIFA accepted a guarantee that
SC Corinthians Paulista's new stadium will be
completed in time for the tournament. The
stadium, being built by Odebrecht SA, will cost
R800 million (US522 million), according to
Corinthians former President Andres
Sanchez. BNDES, the national development bank,
pledged R400 million and the city of São Paulo
will provide a property fund worth R400 million.
On a statement on the Corinthians
website, Ricardo Teixeira, president of the World
Cup local organising committee and the Brazilian
Football Confederation, said "This approval in
record time, less than a year is the result of
efforts by the government of São Paulo,
particularly the Governor Geraldo Alckmin and
Mayor Gilberto Kassab."133 FIFA's approval of the
project to build a new home for Brazil's biggest
football club by revenue, which originally had a
cost estimate of US1.2 billion, was required for
São Paulo to host World Cup games.
In June 2011, then sports minister Orlando Silva
said in an interview that the federal government
would tell tournament organiser FIFAthat São
Paulo, Salvador, Belo Horizonte and Brasília are
eligible to stage the opening ceremony. FIFA will
announce the venue in October. Sanchez said "I
said before that if Corinthians could fulfill all
the requirements of FIFA, the opening of the
World Cup would be in São Paulo. Corinthians gave
the guarantees required by FIFA, so the opening
will be in São Paulo."133 Most of the funding for
investment in airports, stadiums, ports and urban
transportation before the World Cup will come
from the government.133
