The FIFA World Cup will be in 2014 will be held for the 20th time. The country Brazil is the host. It was after the World Cup in 1950 , the second time that the tournament will be held in the country that was five times World Champion.
In March 2003, FIFA decided that the tournament in South America would be held. The choice of Brazil was on October 30, 2007 in Zurich by FIFA announced. There were no rivals anymore, Colombia had six months earlier withdrawn and Argentina did the same at the end of 2006. Although Brazil was the only remaining candidate, FIFA president had Sepp Blatter another blow to the arm held previously by stating that a Brazilian candidacy still had to meet the required quality. Would that not be possible, other candidates from other continents would be considered. In 1978 Argentina was the last South American host. The assignment to South America is a result of the rotation system on different continents that FIFA then wielded.
The slogan of the tournament is "All in one rhythm", or "all in one rhythm".
