VOICED: Brasil y la FIFA juntos otra vez

The FIFA Secretary General, Jérôme Balck, criticized Brazil's slow preparations for the World Cup, suggesting they needed a push to speed up. Despite the controversy, he returned to Rio for further evaluations. FIFA acknowledged that not all projects would be ready on time but emphasized that a completely new country wasn't necessary for 2014. The Confederations Cup, a precursor to the World Cup, was scheduled for June 2013 in several Brazilian cities, with more cities potentially added based on construction progress.
