"I can say it has been a very difficult decision. All entries were of high quality and showed absolute commitment. Unfortunately, we could only choose one and we have estimated that Rio is ideal. The IBC will be one of the most advanced media centers the world in June and July 2014. This is essential because it brings the World Cup with the rest of the world and ensures that viewers from all over the world receive the best coverage, "said the FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke , who chaired the meeting with President of COL, Ricardo Teixeira.

On the other hand, have received detailed reports on various operational areas, such as building or renovating stadiums, and notes that "most of the activities are developed as planned," said FIFA.

"However, it has become clear that only the cities that have a stadium ready in early 2013 may be candidates for Confederations Cup venues, being discarded and Sao Paulo and Natal. There remains concern about the operations and airport capacity and transport infrastructure, which has already been transferred to the highest authorities in Brazil.

"It is crucial that all World Cup venues have adequate infrastructure to meet the needs of tens of thousands of spectators, and that can get around the city to attend the games. Failure to comply with these requirements, we can not hold meetings in these cities, "the agency stressed. The next meeting of the Board of Directors is scheduled for July 26, coinciding with the week of the activities of the draw.
