20 14 World Cup will be held in Brazil from June 13 to July 13. On March 7, 2003, FIFA announced that the 20 14 World Cup would be held in South America, which was the second time after Argentina in 1978. On March 17, the South American Football Association voted that Brazil became the only country to win the right to host the Olympic Games. However, Li Baida, president of the International Football Association, said that there are no qualified stadiums in Brazil and suggested that Argentina and Chile jointly bid. In addition to Brazil, Colombia also intended to bid for the World Cup in 2006, but after the country sent a letter to FIFA in April 2007 1 1, it meant that the right to bid for the World Cup was in Brazil's pocket. 10 On June 30th, FIFA officially announced in Zurich that the 20 14 Men's Football World Cup will be held in Brazil. This is the second time that Brazil has hosted the World Cup after 1950 and the last time that it will be held in five continents.

[Edit this paragraph] [Edit this paragraph] Brazil will host the 20 14 World Cup.

Beijing time 20071October 30th 10, FIFA announced at its headquarters in Zurich that Brazil will host the 20 14 World Cup! Although FIFA stipulates that from 20 18, the right to bid for the World Cup will no longer be rotated by continents, the 20 14 World Cup will still be hosted by South American countries. Although Brazil and Colombia in South America both applied to bid for the World Cup, in the end, the latter voluntarily gave up and announced their withdrawal, so there was almost no suspense. FIFA officially announced at its headquarters that Brazil will host the 20 14 World Cup. Historically, Brazil's national team won the highest honor of this football sport five times, and Brazil also hosted the World Cup in 1950, but in that tournament, they lost to Uruguay in the final and lost the championship. After announcing that Brazil has become the host country of the 20 14 World Cup, Blatter said: "It is a pity that some countries have withdrawn from the election. But this battle is still beautiful, and everything is under our control. Football is a competitive sport, but this sport lacks competition. " Blatter once questioned Brazil's domestic infrastructure and the bidding scheme put forward by the Brazilian Football Association, but in August 2007, FIFA sent a special team to inspect Brazil's stadiums, and finally FIFA decided to give Brazil the green light and "make an exception" to allow it to host the 20 14 World Cup. Up to now, there are 10 world-class stadiums in Brazil, of which Maracana Stadium is the most famous. When FIFA President Blatter announced that Brazil won the 20 14 Men's Football World Cup, the members of the Brazilian delegation embraced excitedly. After waiting for more than half a century, the "five-star" Brazil finally regained its dream of the World Cup. Despite winning the World Cup glory five times, Brazilians also have their own hardships-they have never won the championship at home. 1950 World Cup in Brazil, Brazil, which could have won the championship in a draw, was finally reversed by Uruguay and gave up the championship. In the following 50 years, Brazil, the football kingdom, never had a chance to host the World Cup. Because of this, tens of millions of fans in Brazil were anxiously waiting for this "great moment" last night. Although the result is beyond doubt, the Brazilian delegation still makes a serious statement. Brazilian Sports Minister Silva, Football Association President teixeira, national team coach Dunga and star romario all took turns to go into battle. In Brazil, people are working hard to host the World Cup. Among them, 50 mountaineers climbed a mountain near Rio de Janeiro, and they hung a huge Brazilian team jersey on the summit. On the back of the jersey are written several big characters: "The 20 14 World Cup is ours!" After the results were announced, FIFA President Blatter said: "Brazil not only has the right but also the obligation to host the 20 14 World Cup." Blatter had doubts about Brazil's stadium construction and financial plan before, but in August, the FIFA investigation team was quite satisfied with the investigation results of Brazil's stadium construction. Brazil has the largest 10 football field in the world. But Brazil is famous for its public security, with the crime rate reaching hundreds of times per minute. Problems such as street violence and imperfect transportation facilities are also plaguing the Brazilian people. However, a large part of the 1 1 ten thousand dollars needed to rebuild the stadium has not yet been settled, and Brazil, which won the right to host the World Cup, still needs to solve many problems. Nevertheless, the arrival of the World Cup in this "football kingdom" is convincing enough. It's like the table tennis match was held in China because football has already risen to the status of the national game in Brazil. In the World Cup, only the top three countries can keep the Rimet Cup forever. So far, only Brazilians have enjoyed this honor. When it comes to Brazilian football, people will immediately talk about samba-like rhythm, superb technology and smooth attack. God has endowed Brazilians with artistic charm, and Brazilian football players have turned it into samba football and artistic football, which has been highly appreciated by the world. Brazilian football may have a short low tide, but they can always turn defeat into victory in disasters and live forever. For Brazilians, playing football is like a daily routine. The president of the Brazilian Football Association said: "Brazilians regard football as a dream, a hobby and an indispensable element for survival. For all Brazilians, football even transcends the importance of survival. " "Football Go Home" is the slogan of England 1996 European Football Championship, which means that England, which invented modern football, has once again held the World Series. Now Brazilians have shouted the same slogan, because in the eyes of Brazilians, compared with the disciplined and orderly European football in England, the originator of modern football, Brazilian football is an elegant enjoyment in front of the world. In this case, wait patiently until the Brazilians hand over a perfect answer sheet in seven years. Both the British and the Brazilians have shouted "Football Go Home", which makes people feel that China, as the birthplace of football, can shout so proudly. It is not good news for China to bid for the 20 18 World Cup that the rotation system of the World Cup among continents has been cancelled. Blatter once said that he hoped to see Britain and China compete for the 20 18 World Cup. During the Women's World Cup in September, the China Football Association expressed interest in hosting it, but so far it has only stayed in words. Nowadays, the British are making a lot of publicity and taking the initiative. Does the China Football Association have any practical follow-up?

[Edit this paragraph] [Edit this paragraph] Brazilian football history

Football means "soccer" in Portuguese, and was introduced to Brazil by the Englishman Charles Miller in 1885. At first, the sport was only played in private men's clubs, which was the upper class. With the passage of time, the concept of rich and poor and racial discrimination in Brazil gradually faded, and the poor and blacks gradually participated. Football entered the professional stage on 1933, and became a widely developed sport in schools, industrial and mining enterprises and clubs. (Futebol) Football is very popular in any corner of Brazil-beach or flat ground, and the number of players has increased dramatically. A large part of Brazil's football population is low-income blacks and hybrids. Some experts believe that the unique style of Brazilian football-South American style and high level-the world's top level is inseparable from the natural physical conditions of Brazilians. Brazilian football players have all the powerful body control ability and "foot ability" of black players, so that they can make coordinated and rapid responses according to rhythm changes or actual needs in physical activities or confrontation. To understand Brazilian football, you must understand Brazil and Brazilians. Due to the numerous races in Brazil, Brazil's unique ethnic and cultural diversity has been formed. It is this diversity that makes Brazilian football full of creativity and vitality, just like their dance-samba, with a changing rhythm. Football players have turned football into an art through this innate rhythm, and they themselves have played an artist-like talent on the court. Brazilians' football talent benefits from their music, samba and other popular cultures. There are many factors that affect Brazilian football. Football, for example, is easy to play; The rules are simple; No special equipment and venues are needed. In other words, football can be played on the artificial lawn, on the bare ground, or even on the beach or indoors. The ball can be a regular game ball, can also be filled with socks, and can also be directly made of round objects, even usable objects such as soda bottle caps. People use their different physical conditions to play football, which makes a large number of people participate in football in Brazil, and there are also many people engaged in football. Some people with football talent live in this football environment and use their eyes and ears to follow the road of football, thus ensuring that Brazil's high-level football players are extremely rich in resources, just like American basketball. Brazil's national football team won the World Cup in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002 respectively, becoming the first team in the world to win five World Cups. Brazil has more professional teams than any other national team in the world, which is the highest in the world. There are more than 20,000 officially registered football clubs, and the number of people engaged in football exceeds one million.

Brazil's Congress drastically cut the funding for the 20 14 World Cup.

Xinhuanet Brasilia 65438+1October 4th (Reporter Zhao Yan Chen Weihua) The Brazilian Congress passed the 20 10 budget bill on the 4th, among which the most striking amendment is to reduce the funding for the 20 14 World Cup by1800 million reais (about1500 million US dollars). Jorge Magira, a member of Brazil's Labor Party, said at a press conference that in order to save government expenses, representatives of major political parties held a meeting that day and agreed to cut some expenditures in sports, culture and tourism, among which the World Cup preparation funds were the most affected. He said: "The infrastructure construction of the World Cup is the most affected. It is expected that the government will start issuing relevant funds in February, but these funds no longer exist. " Magira did not disclose the amount of the World Cup preparation funds cut, but he thought that the cut would delay the allocation of funds and affect the renovation progress of some stadiums and training venues.

[Edit this paragraph] [Edit this paragraph] The social influence of star players

Football is a mirror of Brazilian society. Brazil's domestic media also pay full attention to football. The star-making movement of Brazilian media has made many Brazilian teenagers imitate their idols to engage in this sport. Those famous and rich superstars think that football is the only way to get them out of trouble and gain decent social status and huge economic benefits. Because of the social influence of idols, teenagers with the same social background are more inspired to engage in this sport. World-class Brazilian football stars, such as Pele, Garrincha, Zico and Ronaldo. They all started to play football from the bottom of society and poor conditions, and gradually became famous. These superstars use superb technology to promote the development of Brazilian football and make Brazilian football famous all over the world. Boys playing football in the streets of Brazil all dream of becoming stars one day to change their poverty, and it is this dream that supports Brazil's football culture. Football is the dream of Brazilians, and it is also the source for them to forget poverty and enjoy happiness. Maranhao (2002) thinks that "the influence of football culture on Brazilians is far greater than politics and economy". According to Teich's (2002) survey of some Brazilian national team players, the more the national team members come from poor social classes and receive less school education, the more they can become world-class football superstars. The more amazing the wealth they have. If they don't become professional athletes, they will become motorcyclists, porters and taxi drivers like their childhood friends, or die in confrontation with the police because of violating the law and discipline, or indulge in drugs. Therefore, there is a popular concept in Brazilian society: people from poor backgrounds, especially those from poor and colored people, will either become professional players, engage in music or be involved in drugs. In fact, this racial discrimination and social prejudice have historical roots. In traditional Brazilian society, "non-whites" were deprived of the right to education, health and sanitation, work and even income (Graham, 1990). Arbena( 1998) believes that in Brazil, teenagers from poor and low-class families are deprived of their basic rights and are on the verge of social relief. Football is not only a daily entertainment for them, but also given more expectations. The wealth myth created by the stars makes football the most popular sport in Brazil. But it is not true that professional players are rich. According to the investigation of Brazilian Football Association (CBF), only 4.3% professional players earn 4,000 Brazilian reais per month-about 1.350 USD or more. Most players earn less than 120 dollars a month (Folha de Sao Paulo, 1998).

[Edit this paragraph] [Edit this paragraph] The influence of football on education

No matter how important football is in Brazilian culture, schools at all levels in Brazil have different attitudes towards football, which are not included in the overall education, or just used as a teaching method to guide students to learn theoretical knowledge. Contemporary education in Brazil has encountered great difficulties, and about 4 million children aged 7- 14 cannot go to school. Since 1980s, the dropout rate has been rising, reaching 65,438+03% from grade one to grade five. The middle school enrollment rate is 15- 19 years old, of which 53% are night school students. As a major social phenomenon, football is an effective way to encourage underachievers and students with learning difficulties to re-enter school. Therefore, some Brazilian experts believe that the education department should develop students' common sense according to their standard culture. Freire( 1992) explained that when students enter the school, they also bring their own understanding of the world, which is based on their understanding of the environment and cultural atmosphere, so schools should change their educational methods and encourage students to learn. Football in Brazil can be used as an effective way of education, combining with the actual situation, spreading cultural knowledge, developing intelligence and stimulating students' interest in learning.

[Edit this paragraph] The status of football in Brazil

In Brazil, football is not just a sport. It has become a concrete embodiment of Brazilian social culture. The racial composition of Brazil's multi-language has created a diverse and dynamic culture, which has infiltrated into football and produced a striking and fascinating football culture in Brazil. Following the history and culture of Brazil, Brazilian players showed the world their hungry football style and passion for life with superb football skills. Football has a profound impact on Brazilian society. For teenagers in trouble, football not only keeps them away from social ugliness, but also serves as a stepping stone for them to enter the upper class. Brazil's education department is also taking advantage of the positive influence of football to incorporate football into teaching, so as to reduce the number of students and stimulate students' interest in learning.
