The price of the organization of the 2014 World Cup Brazil scalds



One year after the World Cup football in Brazil and during the Confederations Cup, demonstrators marched through the country for social reasons. In particular, they pointed to the exorbitant cost of the 2014 World Cup, while part of the population struggle for access to education and health.

The price of the organization of the 2014 World Cup Brazil scalds


In 1950, Brazil who played the final of the World Cup in the legendary Maracana stadium had lost to Uruguay. And it was true trauma country football. Sixty-three years later, a portion of the population is angry over the prohibitive favorite this new World Cup. The disappointment of the lost final now seems a faint memory for citizens who speak more "football business".

The protests that began in Sao Paulo against price increases in public transport, for several successive days, and the Brazilian government will send the National Force, an elite police body to ensure safety in six cities that organize the Confederations Cup. Last Monday, 250,000 people beat the pavement to protest against the extravagant expenditures for the organization of the World. Even players of the Brazilian Selecao, Dani Alves, Hulk and David Luiz, have expressed their solidarity with Brazilian "the people."

Confederations Cup and the World are expected to cost 11 billion euros in Brazil. Since the assignment of these two events by FIFA, the Brazilian government had repeatedly revised upwards the price of the organization, particularly because of the delay in the construction of infrastructure.

And the figure of 11 billion euros should be probably exceeded by June 12 2014, kick-off. Is currently about 57 euros for each of the 194 million Brazilians. For example, the legendary Maracana stadium to cost 449 million euros after two and a half years of renovation. Double the original estimate.

Corruption at the heart of the World 2014

After years of political and financial scandals, protesters denounce corruption and took to the street without claim to a political party or a trade union. In an interview with L'Equipe Magazine, Romario, world champion with the Selecao in 1994, became a member in 2011, gave a bleak picture of the current situation: "This will not be the World Cup of the Brazilian people, because the people will not afford the tickets. It is also the people who will pay the bill after the World Cup (...) in Manaus, Natal and Cuiaba, which no longer have the time to make bids, they will come in time of emergency . (...) This is done on purpose to steal more money! "

Already two years ago, in Brasilia, the site of the train from the airport to the south of the federal capital had been arrested for fraud in the tender. The renovation of the Maracana was tarnished by a case of jars of wine on one of the companies in charge of the work and the Minister of Sports. Even the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) was not spared. The all-powerful boss of Brazilian football, Ricardo Teixeira, and organizer of the 2014 World Cup, had been targeted by a series of corruption charges and resigned. At the time, Romario was welcomed on his Facebook page that Brazilian football is "cured of cancer."

The President of the International Football Federation, Joseph Blatter, says that football "is stronger than the dissatisfaction of the people." It is not certain that the Brazilians who have decided to take to the streets hear this message.
