have taken place and it will be the second time that Brazil has
been the host nation, the previous time being in 1950, and it’s the
first time that the soccer tournament has been hosted in South
America since 1978, when it was held in Argentina.
Next to the Olympics, it’s probably the second largest

teams will battle it out in a total of sixty four matches played
across twelve different cities in Brazil to win the coveted Worlds
Cup trophy. The FIFA World cup in Brazil will be watched by
millions of people around the globe as they cheer on their home

The World Cup 2014 logo (official emblem) was
officially introduced on the 8th of July 2010 in
