FIFA: World Cup definitely in Brazil next year, despite civil unrest
By Frans van Hees | www.AboutBrasil.com | Week 26, June 2013
Rio de Janeiro -
The World Cup 2014 will be organized by Brazil, just as planned
. This says Jerome Valcke, secretary of FIFA on Sunday, in response to themass protests in Brazil during the Confederations Cup
2013 in the South American country.
Hundreds of thousands of Brazilians have been hitting the streets in recent days. They do not understand why their government spends more than 2 billion euros on the World Cup infrastructure, while there is, for example, little money for education and health care." The World Cup is next year in Brazil," Mr Valcke said. "That is so decided. We at FIFA are mainly responsible for the matches. I think we have not done anything wrong. The World Cup might cost a lot of money. But the infrastructure of Brazil also improves by the soccer tournament. Moreover, the World Cup is good for employment." |
