The Brazilian model for the 2014 FIFA World Cup is to give priority to private
finance in the construction and remodelling of the stadiums through longterm
concessions and eventually public private partnerships (PPPs). The
objective is to build modern stadiums that will meet FIFA's requirements while
public funds will be allocated towards basic infrastructure, particularly security,
airports, roads and hospitals. Only a few prospective host cities have provided
information on the amount of public funds to be allocated for infrastructure
investments.
Eighteen cities have been identified as potential host cities. This number will
be reduced through the host city bid selection process that will address the
financial commitments secured by the bidding cities.
The CBF currently estimates the investments related to construction and/or
remodelling of stadiums at USD 1.1 billion. This estimate will however be
significantly influenced by the cities that are finally selected to host the
FIFA World Cup.

ensure that adequate financing is committed and secured by the time of the
deadline for the selection of the host cities and the related stadium facilities
