<\/p>\nThirty-nine people were injured and 30 others detained in clashes as around a thousand Brazilians demonstrated outside the national stadium in the capital, Brasilia. The crowds voiced their anger against the amount of money spent on next year\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n
\n Police used tear gas, pepper spray and reportedly rubber bullets,
\n as demonstrators staged their rally before the game, which ended
\n in Brazil beating Japan 3-0.
\n <\/p>\n
\n Protesters held posters reading “We don’t need the World
\n Cup”<\/i> and “We need money for hospitals and education.”<\/i>
\n <\/p>\n
\n The demonstrators also chanted slogans such as \u201cFIFA go
\n away!\u201d<\/i> referring to the Federation of International Football
\n Associations, which awarded the hosting rights to Brazil.
\n <\/p>\n
\n Protests took place across Brazil, with hundreds holding a rally
\n near Maracana Stadium in the country\u2019s biggest city, Rio de
\n Janeiro.
\n <\/p>\n
\n The rally turned violent, as it did in Brasilia, with police
\n firing tear gas and rubber bullets before the start of another
\n Confederations Cup match, which ended in a tie between Italy and
\n Mexico.\n<\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n
\n Demonstrators voiced their anger over the transport fare hikes,
\n as well as the amount of money spent on the 2014 World Cup.
\n <\/p>\n
\n Protesters all across Brazil also posted messages on social media
\n urging visitors from abroad not to come for the World Cup.
\n <\/p>\n
\n On Facebook, the message reads, \u201cOur governors have wasted
\n billions building stadiums that should cost half [what they have]
\n and won\u2019t bring any improvement for the quality of life of the
\n population. Meanwhile, people are dying in the hospital lines due
\n to lack of infrastructure.\u201d<\/i>
\n <\/p>\n
\n The message ends with the following, \u201cBrazilians are sick of
\n it. This World Cup is gonna be messy, tourist-deceiving and
\n dangerous, not to mention disrespectful to our people.\u201d<\/i>
\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n Initially, in 2007, the government stressed the money spent on
\n the organization of the World Cup would be private money, but
\n eventually, over 90 percent of the money being spent on football
\n stadiums has ended up being public money, local media reported.
\n <\/p>\n
\n The Confederations Cup is considered a rehearsal for the next
\n year\u2019s World Cup, with the stadium in Brasilia one of the most
\n expensive in the country, at an estimated cost of around $600
\n million.\n<\/p>\n
