FIFA To Confirm Confederations Cup Venues Next Week

FIFA "will confirm next week whether all six venues for next year's Confederations Cup in Brazil will be able to stage the event," according to Brian Homewood of REUTERS. FIFA has already announced that Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Salvador, Fortaleza, Recife and Brasilia "will host matches in the eight-team tournament, which is seen as a dress rehearsal for the 2014 World Cup." However, FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke voiced doubts two weeks ago that "all six stadiums would be ready for the event in June due to the slow pace of preparations" (REUTERS, 10/31).
