When Brazil was announced host of the football World Cup 
2014, all expected a big party. A country where football is a 
national passion, home of the ”jogo bonito”. But a few days 
prior to kick off, the majority of the Brazilians are questioning 
the mega-tournament. 
They point out excessive spending on new stadiums while 
funds are desperately needed to improve the public health 
system and education. Not to speak of public transport. 
The World Cup in Brazil mixes passion with social protest.
Hundreds of thousands of people paralyzed the cities across 
the country over a 20 cent increase in bus fares. The police 
response was brutal in the beginning. Elite military-police 
units trained to pacify real slums were brought to quell 
demonstrations. But the police violence drove more people 
into the streets. For the first time anyone can recall the 
people began to lose the fear of the police.
Although it might have seemed like a good idea to host the 
2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil one of the most soccer-obsessed 
countries in the world massive social unrest has 
taken the country by storm in the lead up to the tournament. 
The Brazilian government is spending an estimated $14 billion 
on this year's tournament, making it the most expensive World 
Cup to date. This has provoked outrage among Brazilians, who 
view the government as corrupt. They are seeing vast amounts 
of money being spent on soccer stadiums and police while 
politicians ignore the country's endemic poverty and social 
issues are ignored.

not worth the tears in the favelas”

“The world cup takes our schools and 
hospitals and leaves us its ‘balls’.”
FIFA was a target for Brazilian 
protestors against the World Cup.
