The Brazilian model for the 2014 FIFA World Cup is to give priority to private finance in the construction and remodelling of the stadiums through longterm concessions and eventually public private partnerships (PPPs). The objective is to build modern stadiums that will meet FIFA's requirements while public funds will be allocated towards basic infrastructure, particularly security, airports, roads and hospitals. Only a few prospective host cities have provided information on the amount of public funds to be allocated for infrastructure investments. Eighteen cities have been identified as potential host cities. This number will be reduced through the host city bid selection process that will address the financial commitments secured by the bidding cities. The CBF currently estimates the investments related to construction and/or remodelling of stadiums at USD 1.1 billion. This estimate will however be significantly influenced by the cities that are finally selected to host the FIFA World Cup.
The inspection team is of the opinion that it would be important for FIFA experts to carefully review the process and progress of host city selection to ensure that adequate financing is committed and secured by the time of the deadline for the selection of the host cities and the related stadium facilities or potential stadium construction sites.
