Brazil is on track with its preparations for hosting the 2014 soccer World Cup amid concerns that deadlines may not be met, according to the South American nation’s Tourism Minister Luiz Barretto.
“There’s always anxiety about the World Cup” and soccer’s governing body, FIFA, “gets very anxious,” he said in an interview in Johannesburg today. “They had the same attitude towards Germany and the same here” in South Africa.
