SAO PAULO — Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia and Sao Paulo are all bidding to accommodate the International Broadcast Center during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

The three cities turned in their projects to the local organizing committee this week and FIFA is expected to announce the winner by June.

Rio de Janeiro is set to host the World Cup final at Maracana stadium, while Sao Paulo and Brasilia — the nation's capital — are two of the cities vying for the opening match.

It will be the first World Cup in Brazil since 1950.
