The exceptional organisation of the bid LOC and the
professional presentations by the prospective host cities
ensured that the group received the accurate information
it needed to carry out its duties.
The Brazilian candidature was excellent. All the cities bidding to become World
Cup host cities presented exceptional stadium projects that meet the
requirements stipulated by FIFA.
The inspection team visited Brazil between 23 August and 1 September 2007.
The visit was extremely well organised by the bid LOC. During its three-day
stay in Rio de Janeiro, the group received thorough information from 13 cities:
Fortaleza, Recife, Salvador, Maceio, Natal, Florianopolis, Curitiba, Cuiaba,
Campo Grande, Goiania, Manaus, Rio Branco and Belem. On 27 August
the group visited Brasilia and was honoured to meet the president of Brazil,
Mr Lula da Silva. In the following four days the inspection team visited Belo
Horizonte, Sao Paulo, Porto Alegre and Rio de Janeiro. In most of the cities
the delegation was welcomed by the state governor and the mayor.

The Brazilians are masters of technique, but most importantly, they love the game.
As the only nation to have participated in every FIFA World Cup and a five-time winner
of the competition, it is evident that Brazil has the richest tradition of footballing excellence in the world. On a global scale, both the trained football expert and the general football fan are full of admiration and appreciation for Brazilian football. “Samba football” as it is sometimes referred to, is like no other in the world. The Brazilians are masters of technique, but most importantly, they love the game. Perhaps just as famous around the
world, Brazilian football supporters are world-class. The entire country is enamoured with
the game and will be vocal and vibrant supporters during the FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014.
