About Rio de Janeiro  Olympics 2016.     

World Cup 2014

Rio de Janeiro is expected to be the host of the final match of the World Cup in 2014. The confirmation as one of the 12 official host cities in Brazil was announced during the meeting in Nassau (Bahamas) on 30-31 May 2009, where the FIFA Executive Committee, chaired by FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter, confirmed the 12 Host Cities for the 2014 World Cup Brazil. The stage for the final match in 1950, Maracanã Stadium will have the chance for a “re-match” since the Brazilian team lost to Uruguay here during the 1950 World Cup.


Olympics 2016 masterplan in Rio de Janeiro

Brazil's economy is now the tenth largest in the world - and predicted to be fifth by 2016. We are the world's second biggest food exporter, one of the world's largest oil and ore producers and the fifth largest advertising market. Our diverse economy is the engine of South America and one of the world's top 10 consumer markets. We have the highest levels of Internet use in the world. The enduring strength of our economy - even in the current global climate - has enabled the Government to guarantee the investments needed for the 2016 Games, including direct funding of US$700m for the OCOG.

 

Organizing the Olympic and Paralympic Games is a major challenge for any country. It demands knowledge, commitment and effort across many areas. To fulfill the dream of all Brazilians, Rio has a team of professionals from diverse areas, with expertise in the organization of major sports events. Key members of the Rio 2016 team also worked on the highly-successful Rio 2007 Pan American and Parapan American Games.

President of the Brazilian Olympic Committee and the Organizing Committee of the Rio 2007 Games, Carlos Arthur Nuzman led the organization of the Rio 2007 Pan American Games - the best ever Pan American Games, according to Mário Vázquez Raña, the president of the Pan American Sports Organization (PASO). This verdict was echoed by the leaders of many national Olympic committees that took part in the competition.

In 2007, Rio de Janeiro staged the Pan American Games and the Parapan American Games in succession, using the same facilities for both events. This model was praised by the leaders of the Americas Paralympics Committee (APC), and will be repeated for the Guadalajara 2011 Pan American Games.

Consequently, Rio de Janeiro is one of the few cities of the world to have the experience of organizing two major multi-sports events one right after the other, which reinforces the city's bid for the 2016 Olympic Games.

The team preparing Rio's 2016 bid is made up of former Olympic and Pan American athletes. The team fully understands the needs of athletes and their families.

The team also counts on international advisors and is supported by renowned consultants who have played major roles in organizing previous Olympic Games.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup will be the 20th World Cup, an international tournament for football, that is expected to take place between June and July 2014 in Brazil.

This will be the second time the country has hosted the competition, the first being the 1950 FIFA World Cup. Brazil will become the fifth country to have hosted the FIFA World Cup twice, after Mexico, Italy, France and Germany. It will be the first World Cup to have been held in South America since the 1978 FIFA World Cup in Argentina and the first time consecutive World Cups have been staged in the Southern Hemisphere. Brazil also will become the first nation to break the well-established chain of allowing a European nation to host the World Cup Finals every eight years.
