It began on 12 June, with a group stage, and is scheduled to conclude on 13 July with the nal. [1] It is the second time that Brazil has hosted the competition, the rst being in 1950. Brazil was elected unchallenged as host nation in 2007 after the international football federation, FIFA, decreed that the tournament would be staged in South America for the rst time since 1978 in Argentina, and the fth time overall. The national teams of 31 countries advanced through qualication competitions that began in June 2011 to participate with the host nation Brazil in the nal tournament. A total of 64 matches are being played in 12 cities across Brazil in either new or redeveloped stadiums. For the rst time at a World Cup nals, match ocials are using goal-line technology, as well as vanishing foam for free kicks. [2] With the host country, all world champion teams since the rst World Cup in 1930: Argentina, England, France, Germany (who won three times as West Germany), Italy, Spain and Uruguay, have qualied for this competition. Spain is the defending champion, having defeated the Netherlands 10 in the 2010 nal to win its rst World Cup. All previous four World Cup tournaments staged in South America were won by South American teams.

[4][5] The decision meant that it would be the rst time that two consecutive World Cups were staged outside Europe. Only Brazil and Colombia formally declared their candidacy but, after the withdrawal of the latter from the process, [6] Brazil was ocially elected as host nation unopposed on 30 October 2007. [7] Participating teams and ocials Qualication Following qualication matches between June 2011 and November 2013, the following 32 teams shown with their nal pre-tournament FIFA World Rankings [8] qualied for the nal tournament. This marks the return of Croatia, Ecuador, Costa Rica and Iran after they missed the 2010 edition. Colombia qualied for the World Cup after 16 years of absence. Bosnia and Herzegovina is the only team with no previous World Cup Finals experience. [9][nb 2] Only three top-25 ranked teams did not qualify for the tournament: Ukraine (16), Denmark (23) and Slovenia (25). [8] Paraguay failed to qualify for the nals for the rst time since 1994. Further 6 teams, who participated at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, also failed to qualify: South Africa, North Korea, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Denmark and New Zealand. It is also the rst time since 2002 that no OFC team will be among the nalists as New 2014 FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encycl... http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2014_F... 3 of 44 2014-06-18 17:02 Qualied Failed to qualify Did not enter Not a FIFA member Zealand were eliminated by Mexico in the OFC-CONCACAF play-o.

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. [10] 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. [11][12] The draw took place on 6 December 2013 at the Costa do Sauipe resort in Bahia, during which the teams were drawn by various past World Cup-winning players. [13][14] Under the draw procedure, one randomly drawn team was rstly relocated from Pot 4 to Pot 2 to create four equal pots of eight teams. [11] Squads As with the 2010 tournament, each team's squad consists of 23 players (three of whom must be goalkeepers). Each participating national association had to conrm their nal 23-player squad no later than 10 days before the start of the tournament. [15] Teams were permitted to make late replacements in the event of serious injury, at any time up to 24 hours before their rst game. [15] During a match, all remaining squad members not named in the starting team are available to be one of the three permitted substitutions (provided the player is not serving a suspension). [15] Ocials In March 2013, FIFA published a list of 52 prospective referees, each paired with two assistant referees, from all six football confederations for the tournament. On 14 January 2014, the FIFA Referees Committee appointed 25 referee trios and eight support duos representing 43 dierent countries for the tournament. [16][17] Venues Twelve venues (seven new and ve renovated) in twelve cities have been selected for the tournament. The venues cover all the main regions of Brazil and create more evenly distributed hosting than the 1950 nals in Brazil.

[19] During the World Cup, Brazilian cities will also be home to the participating teams at 32 separate base camps, [20] as well as staging ocial fan fests where supporters can view the games.

Prominent examples are the Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, which already held a Fan Fest in 2010, So Paulo's Vale do Anhangaba and Braslia's Esplanada dos Ministrios, with the Congress in the background. [24][25] The rst ocial event took place on Iracema Beach, in Fortaleza, on 8 June 2014. [26] Innovations Technologies New technologies that are being introduced to World Cup football for the rst time include goal-line technology, vanishing foam, and improved football production technology. For the rst time at a World Cup Finals, the ocials are being assisted by goal-line technology. The previous World Cup was a catalyst for the decision to adopt technology after England were denied a goal in their round of 16 match against Germany. [27] Following the mistake in this game, FIFA President Sepp Blatter said "it would be a nonsense not to reopen the le on goal-line technology" [28] and in 2012 the IFAB approved its usage. [29] This is the fourth FIFA competition to use the technology after successful trials at 2012 Club World Cup, 2013 Club World Cup and 2013 Confederations Cup. The German company GoalControl was selected as the tournament's ocial goal-line technology provider in October 2013. [30] Its rst use was in the FranceHonduras group game where the Honduran goalkeeper was found to have scored an own goal. [31] Following successful trials, [nb 4] FIFA approved the use of vanishing foam by the referees for the rst time at a World Cup Finals. The water-based spray, which disappears within minutes of application, can be used to mark a ten-yard line for the defending team during a free kick and also to draw where the ball is to be placed for a free kick. [32] The Brazuca is the ocial match ball of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. [33][34][35] It is made by the company Adidas, a FIFA Partner and FIFA World Cup Ocial Match Ball supplier since 1970. [33][34][35] Adidas created a new design of ball after criticisms of the Adidas Jabulani used in the previous World Cup. The number of panels was reduced to six, with the panels being thermally bonded. This created a ball with increased consistency and aerodynamics compared to its predecessor. Furthermore Adidas underwent an extensive testing process lasting more than two 2014 FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encycl... http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2014_F... 10 of 44 2014-06-18 17:02 Countries participating in the 2014 FIFA World Cup years to produce a ball that would meet the approval of football professionals. The Brazuca was manufactured by Forward Sports of Sialkot, Pakistan, for Adidas. [36][37] Cooling breaks Because of the relatively high ambient temperatures in Brazil, particularly at the northern venues, "cooling breaks" for the players were introduced. [38] Breaks can take place after the 30th minute of the rst and second half of games at the referee's discretion if the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature exceeds 32 C (90 F). Anti-doping In 2014, the biological passport is introduced in the FIFA World Cup; blood and urine samples from all players before the competition and from two players per team and per match are analysed by the Swiss Laboratory for Doping Analyses. [39] Format The rst round, or group stage, is a round-robin competition between the 32 teams divided among eight groups of four. The two best teams in each group will progress to the knockout stage. [15] The ranking of teams in each group is based on: Points in all group matches, with 3 points awarded for a win, one point for a draw and none for a loss. 1. Goal dierence in all group matches 2. Goals scored in all group matches 3. Points in matches between tied teams 4. Goal dierence in matches between tied teams 5. 2014 FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encycl... http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2014_F... 11 of 44 2014-06-18 17:02 12 June 2014 17:00 Brazil 31 Croatia Neymar 29', 71' (pen.)

In the knockout stage there will be four rounds (round of 16, quarter-nals, semi-nals, and the nal), with each eliminating the losers. The two semi-nal losers will compete in a third place play-o. A draw in the knockout stages will be followed by two 15 minute periods of extra time to determine a winner. If the teams are still tied, a penalty shoot-out will be held. [15] The match schedule was announced on 20 October 2011 [40] with the kick-o times being conrmed on 27 September 2012; [41] after the nal draw, the kick-o times of seven matches were adjusted by FIFA. [42] The competition is organised so that teams that played each other in the group stage cannot meet again during the knockout phase until the nal (or the 3rd place match). Group stage The group stage began on 12 June, with the host nation competing in the opening game as has been the format since the 2006 tournament. The opening game was preceded by an opening ceremony that began at 15:15 local time. [43] All times listed below are in Braslia ocial time (UTC3).

[50] FIFA is expected to spend $2 billion on staging the nals, [51] with its greatest single expense being the $576 million prize money pot. [47] Although organisers originally estimated costs of US$1.1 billion, [52] a reported US$3.6 billion has ultimately been spent on stadium works. [53][54] Five of the chosen host cities have brand new venues built specically for the World Cup, while the Estdio Nacional Man Garrincha in the capital Braslia was demolished and rebuilt, with the remaining six being extensively renovated.

[56] However, the failed completion of many of the proposed works has provoked discontent among some Brazilians. [57][58][59] The Brazilian government has pledged $900 million will be invested into security forces and that the tournament will be "one of the most protected sports events in history". [60] Marketing The marketing of the 2014 FIFA World Cup includes sale of tickets, support from sponsors and promotion through events that utilize the symbols and songs of the tournament. Popular merchandise includes items featuring the ocial mascot as well as an ocial video game that has been developed by EA Sports. [61] Media For a fourth consecutive FIFA World Cup Finals, the coverage is being provided by HBS (Host Broadcast Services), a subsidiary of Infront Sports & Media. [62] Sony has been selected as the ocial equipment provider and has built 12 bespoke high denition production 40-foot-long containers, one for each tournament venue, to house the extensive amount of equipment required. [63][64] Each match utilises 37 standard camera plans, including Aerial and Cablecam, two Ultramotion cameras and dedicated cameras for interviews. [64] The ocial tournament lm, as well as three matches, [nb 6] will be lmed with ultra high denition technology (4K resolution), following a successful trial at the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup. [65] The broadcasting rights covering television, radio, internet and mobile coverage for the tournament have been sold to media companies in each individual territory either directly by FIFA, or through licensed companies or organisations such as the European Broadcasting Union, Organizacin de Televisin Iberoamericana, International Media Content, Dentsu and RS International Broadcasting & Sports Management. [66] The sale of these rights accounts for an estimated 60% of FIFA's income from staging a World Cup.

[68][69] Controversies Protests Prior to the opening ceremony of the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup staged in Brazil, demonstrations took place outside the venue, organised by people unhappy with the amount of public money spent to enable the hosting of the FIFA World Cup. [70] Both the Brazilian president Dilma Rousse and FIFA president Sepp Blatter were heavily booed as they were announced to give their speeches at the 2013 tournament's opening, [71] which resulted in FIFA announcing that the 2014 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony would not feature any speeches. [72] Further protests took place outside other matches during the Confederations Cup [73][74] as part of wider unrest and rioting in Brazilian cities, seeking to express disenchantment with the government's nancial management of the country. [70][75] Former Brazilian footballer and now political gure Romrio has labelled the tournament "the biggest theft in history", saying that he believes its real cost will exceed R$100 billion (US$46 billion). He has called for a deeper investigation into the widespread misuse of public funds, which he identies as the reason for the continuing protests. [76][77][78][79][80] The weeks preceding the 2014 World Cup as well as the rst days of the tournament have featured further unrest and protests across the country against the spending. [81][82][83] However, in contrast to the Confederations Cup, security forces have managed to prevent any protests reaching the stadiums. [84] Directly before the tournament, President Rousse reiterated her assurances of the previous year that all the implemented public works had long-term benets for Brazilians. [85][86] Budweiser bill After numerous deaths in football stadiums, Brazil passed a law in 2003 outlawing alcohol sales in stadiums. FIFA demanded that Brazil allow alcohol sales at the World Cup because Budweiser, a major World Cup sponsor is the "Ocial Beer of 2014 FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encycl... http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2014_F... 33 of 44 2014-06-18 17:02 the FIFA World Cup", a role it has played since 1986. In response, Brazil passed a law paving the way for alcohol sales in the World Cup, nicknamed the "Budweiser Bill". [87][88] Refereeing In the opening match between host team Brazil and Croatia in Group A, the ocials were criticised for a number of decisions in favour of the Brazilians. In the 71st minute, defender Dejan Lovren put his hands below Fred's arms in the Croatian penalty area, after which Fred fell down. Japanese referee Yuichi Nishimura decided to award Brazil a penalty kick which Neymar subsequently converted on for what turned out to be the game-winning goal for Brazil. The call was condemned by various people, including former World Cup referees, [89] Japanese fans, [90] players from other teams and newspaper writers, [91][91][92][93] arguing that Lovren's contact was minimal and that Fred went down on his own. Massimo Busacca, Head of Refereeing Development at FIFA, defended Nishimura's decision and stated that Lovren's contact was signicant enough, but admitted that there are doubts as to whether Nishimura will be appointed to other games in the tournament. [94] 12 minutes later, the Croatians had an equaliser by Ivica Oli disallowed for a foul as Brazilian goalkeeper Jlio Csar went down in a high-ball duel, another call that was also condemned by various sources. [95][96][97] Renowned former top-level FIFA referee Markus Merk questioned FIFA's appointment of Nishimura as the referee in the opening match, labelling the refereeing in the match as "embarrassing". [98] In the Group A game between Mexico and Cameroon, Mexican midelder Giovani dos Santos had two goals wrongly disallowed for oside in the rst half. Replays showed that he was in line with the last defender for the rst, whilst the ball came from a Cameroonian player for the second. [99] Following the game, which Mexico won 10, Amy Lawrence of The Guardian described the tournament as having "incompetent ociating", and called for FIFA president Sepp Blatter to allow team managers to challenge two decisions per match with video review, a possibility that Blatter discussed before the tournament.
