Brazil to present bid to host 2014 Cup on Wednesday

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil will officially declare its candidacy to host the 2014 World Cup on Wednesday, the Brazilian Football Confederation said Tuesday.
Confederation President Ricardo Teixeira will present Brazil's bid to FIFA at 11 a.m. local time in Tokyo, Japan, where the many FIFA officials have gathered for the Club World Cup.

As part of FIFA's continental rotation policy, the 2014 championship is set for South America. The 2010 Cup is scheduled for South Africa.

Brazil, the only five-time winner of the World Cup, may be the only candidate and is widely considered a favorite to host the 2014 tournament. The only World Cup Brazil staged was in 1950, when it was widely favored but lost 2-1 to Uruguay in the final.

However, Brazil must meet a series of requirements from FIFA regarding quality and capacity of stadiums, hotels and transportation. If Brazil fails to meet the requirements, Canada and the United States may be possible candidates.

FIFA's executive committee is to announce the host of the 2014 Cup in November.

[The Game Is Up]

Finally! We will soon know whether they have the ability and will to achieve this and not have to speculate based on flimsy information and hearsay.

The feet are being put to the fire, as the expression goes.

Well Canada I cant see at all . THere are just not the stadiums and there never will be for the specs that Fifa would want. I beleive we also have a bid on a lower age class fifa world championship U19 of U17. If they were coming to north america it would be the united states or mexico .

I think Brazil could do it and do it very well . Pan AM games prep looks good and the new athletics stadium in Rio looks like it can be expanded for capacity at the ends. YEs you have to have more then 3 stadia but brazil could justify after games use where as a canada could not .

1) Mexico already hosted it 2 times.
2) US hosted it 12 years ago.
3) So Canada would have the best papers.
4) Or perhaps Argentina, Brazil's greatest rivals, would be willing to meet FIFA standards.

Is Colombia not an option, they would have hosted '86 if it wasn't for some vulcano eruption or something and Venezuela with all their new stadiums for the South America championship, they have got a lot of stadiums which will be ready for sure!
Or did they accept cashmoney on forhand?

[skaP187]

Colombia has 4 (old and ugly) stadiums above 40 000 and one new to be build I see on worldstadiums.com

[skaP187]

Venezuela has about 7 stadiums above 40 000 from 2007, a lot with atletic tracks but in 2007 they will have better stadiums then Brazil!

Well to the canada thing again you are only have purpose built stadia for soccer and those are only about 25,000 in size all the Canadina grid iron football stadiums would have to have large amounts of retrofit to have Fifa. The canadian football league has field turf man made surface for pretty much every stadium of the 10 stadia. 4 stadia are 50,000 seats or more. the rest are from 30,000 to 40,000 seats. with the exception of rogers centre, the olympic stadium and bc place none have roofs over the audiences and most designs for canadian stadia would not be able to be renofited for that requirement.

In canada It really is something that people watch on a speciality sports channels and do not support the local leagues yet.


America you do have a great deal of support and corporate weigh that can be put into a bid for a world cup. America is the golden market for both fifa and formual one to crack for TV rights.

Canada is very minimual commerical value for the FIFA people IMHO

its funny because its the same as France and England co-hosting it. Or Iran and USA!

There is a long rivalry between Brazil and Argentina. Even large in football!

It is so funny that people think Canada should host or even bid for the World Cup.
Thoses of us here can tell you the demand for this is not here. Not now maybe never. Yes thousands of kids are playing it at the junior level, but this doesn't translate to the support needed to host this event. Maybe long term it might be feasible, but that would be 2050 at the earliest.

I have to agree with Jim Jones on this one.

[kinggeorge]

the only way i see canada having a chance in 2014 is if its a joint bid with usa but why would the usa do that and second if the nfl bought out the cfl because theres one mls team and bye 2014 probably 5 or 6 but could they support 50-80 000 seat stadiums nooo but if the nfl came and boughtout all the cfl teams then there would eb the infrastructure, as of now i do not see it as a economically viable option for us in canada to host the worldcup..we have a new stadium in toronto being built its less than 30000 people
