text: which countries are  favourites to hold the 2014 fifa world cup finals? which country should get it? the 2014 fifa world cup will provisionally take place in brazil. on march 7, 2003 fifa announced that the cup would be held in south america for the first time since argentina hosted it in 1978, in line with its policy of rotating the right to host the world cup amongst the different confederations. on march 17 the conmebol associations voted unanimously to adopt brazil as their sole candidate. the final decision as to hosting will be made sometime in 2008. however, on april 13, 2006 sepp blatter said that does not necessarily mean that the tournament would be in brazil. "for the time being, i don't think brazil has a stadium for the cup." but it should be noted, that he had only visited stadiums in rio de janeiro, são paulo and porto alegre. blatter also brought up the topic of co-hosting, suggesting that argentina and chile launch a joint bid.  for brazil to host the 2014 world cup, the country would need a lot of investment in security and infrastructure.
