Eighteen locations were presented as potential World Cup host cities: Belém, Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Campo Grande, Cuiabá, Curitiba, Florianópolis,

Fortaleza, Goiânia, Maceió, Manaus, Natal, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio Branco, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador and São Paulo.[20]

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 RicardoTeixeira, 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.[21]

The twelve host cities were announced on 31 May 2009, with Belém, Campo Grande, Florianópolis, Goiânia and Rio Branco being rejected;[22] Maceióhad already withdrawn in January 2009. The twelve selections – each the capital of its state – cover all the main regions 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.[23] As a result the

tournament will require significant long-distance travel for teams.[24]

A reported US$3.47 billion has been spent on stadium projects.[25] Five of the chosen host cities have brand new venues built specifically for the WorldCup, while the Estádio Nacional Mané Garrincha in the capital Brasilia was demolished and rebuilt, and the remaining six are being extensively

renovated.[26] The Estádio do Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, which already holds the record attendance for a FIFA World Cup Finals match (199,854), isthe 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.[27]

The first new stadium, the Castelão, in Fortaleza, became operational in January 2013.[28] According to Joe Leahy of the Financial Times, the works inthe 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.[29][30] Six of the venues were used during the 2013 Confederations Cup.[31] Six further stadiums are however forecast to miss FIFA's

original 31 December 2013 deadline for completed works.[32] 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.[33]

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.[34] On 18 February, FIFA confirmed that

Curitiba would remain as a World Cup host, despite delays in construction of the stadium.[35]

On 9 March 2014, the Arena da Amazônia, in Manaus, became the ninth World Cup stadium to host a football match, with Remo and Nacional coming

to a 2-2 draw.[36] Arena das Dunas, in Natal, and Estádio Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre also hosted soccer matches already, and are ready for the World

Cup.[37][38]

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.[50] 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.[51][52]

Squads

Main article: 2014 FIFA World Cup squads

As with the 2010 tournament, each team's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup will consist of 23 players (three of whom must be goalkeepers). Eachparticipating national association has to confirm their final 23-player squad no later than 10 days before the start of the tournament.

Teams are permitted to make late replacements in the event of serious injury, at any time up to 24 hours before their first game.[61]

Group stage

The first round, or group stage, will see the thirty-two teams divided into eight groups of four teams. Each group will compete in a round-robin of sixgames, where each team will play one match against each of the other teams in the same group. Teams will be awarded three points for a win, one point

for a draw and none for a defeat. The teams finishing first and second in each group will progress to the Round of 16.[61]

The match schedule was announced at FIFA's headquarters in Zürich on 20 October 2011,[62] with the kick-off times being confirmed on 27 September

2012.[63] After the final draw, the kick-off times of seven matches were adjusted by FIFA.[64]

All times listed below are in Brasília official time (UTC−3). This is the time zone of ten of the twelve venues; the other two, Cuiabá and Manaus, are inthe Amazon time zone (UTC−4), therefore for matches hosted at these two venues the local kickoff times are one hour earlier than the times listed

below.[65]

Tie-breaking criteria

The ranking of each team in each group will be determined as follows:

Greater number of points in all group matches

Goal difference in all group matches

Greater number of goals scored in all group matches

round[61]

Marketing

Logo

The official logo of the competition is entitled "Inspiration", and was created by Brazilian agency Africa.[66] The design is based around a photograph ofthree 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.[66] The design was selected from the

submissions of 25 Brazilian-based agencies invited to submit designs.[67] Brazilian graphic designer Alexandre Wollner has criticised the design,suggesting that it resembles a facepalm, as well as the process through which it was chosen, which had a jury that excluded professional graphic

designers.[68]

FIFA also commissioned an official poster that was unveiled in January 2013 and designed by the Brazilian creative agency Crama.[69] The official

slogan is "All in One Rhythm" (Portuguese: "Juntos num só ritmo").[70]

Official song

Main article: FIFA World Cup official songs

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 song

for the tournament will be "We Are One (Ole Ola)" by Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte.[71] Sony also launched a global music contest –

entitled 'SuperSong' – to select a song for the competition's official album, One Love, One Rhythm.[72] 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.[72] On 10 February 2014,

American Elijah King was chosen with the song "Vida" ("Life", in English).[73] A customized version of the song "Dare (La La La)" by Shakira, who

provided the official song of the 2010 tournament, will be used as a secondary theme song.[74] By the end of March, FIFA announced that the song "Darum Jeito (We Will Find a Way)", written by Avicii, Carlos Santana, Wyclef Jean and Alexandre Pires, was selected as the official anthem of the 2014

FIFA World Cup.[75]

Mascot

Main article: Fuleco

The tatu-bola, an armadillo that defends itself from predators by rolling up into a ball, was chosen as the official mascot by FIFA at a ceremony

organised by the local organising committee in September 2012.[76] It was selected from 47 designs created by six Brazilian agencies after market

research showed its appeal to the primary target audience of Brazilian children aged 5–12.[77]

The then-unnamed mascot was first unveiled to the public during a segment of the Brazilian news show Fantástico.[78] An online public vote was used

to determine the name in which three potential names were offered,[79] with the winning name being announced on 25 November 2012:[80] 1.7 million

people (about 48 per cent) voted for Fuleco, ahead of Zuzeco (31 per cent) and Amijubi (21 per cent).[81]

"Fuleco" is a portmanteau of the words "Futebol" ("Football") and "Ecologia" ("Ecology") (in addition, nicknames ending with -eco are popular in

Brazil). The two unsuccessful names were Amijubi ("Amizade" ("Friendship") and "Júbilo" ("Joy")) and Zuzeco ("Azul" ("blue") and "Ecologia").[80]

Match ball

Page 7: 2014 FIFA World Cup - Encyclopedia

Main article: Adidas Brazuca

The official ball of the 2014 World Cup will be the Adidas Brazuca.[82] The name was selected by a public vote that received responses from more than

1 million Brazilian football fans; "Brazuca" received over 70 per cent of the vote.[83] Adidas, the official FIFA World Cup match ball supplier since1970, took inspiration from elements of Brazilian culture to come up with a shortlist of three possible names for the ball that also included Bossa Nova

and Carnavalesca.[83]

Caxirola

Main article: Caxirola

The tournament has recognised an official instrument: the caxirola, a percussive instrument created by Brazilian musician Carlinhos Brown. They aredesigned 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.[84][85]

Video game

Main article: 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil (video game)

As with the 2010 tournament, EA Sports published the official video game of the competition, entitled 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil.[86] It was released

on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in various markets in April 2014.[87] The game contains all of the 203 national teams that took part in the 2014 FIFA

World Cup qualification process and includes all 12 venues used at the World Cup tournment.[88] The game received mixed reviews from critics on

release from commercial websites.[89]
