After many months of expectation, the World Cup (Brazil 2014 World Cup) began, the most important sporting event on the planet and which will paralyze all fans of the beautiful game from June 12 to July 13.
World Opening Ceremony 2014
The opening party was held at the Arena Corinthians stadium in Sao Paulo and, although it only lasted 26 minutes (a fact that has made it the shortest opening ceremony of all the soccer World Cups), it had a cost that exceeded nine million euros. Dollars.
One of the main attractions of the ceremony was the giant LED ball (with the same details of the Brazuca, which is the official ball of the Soccer World Cup), which was built with seven thousand nits of brightness and ninety thousand clusters and that It was active throughout the ceremony, which, as the organizers indicated, was designed to be a tribute to Brazil and its main treasures: Dance, Soccer and Nature.
The closing ceremony was led by Claudia Leitte, Jennifer López and Pitbull, who dressed in the national colors of Brazil and performed the official World Cup anthem before the opening match between Brazil and Croatia.
Failures at the Opening Ceremony
In this sports festival there have been some technical and logistical problems that we hope will only remain as a reminder of some curiosities that usually happen in this type of event and not, that end with a call from FIFA to the organizers.
Among these details stands out the one that Jennifer López had indicated until a few hours before the inauguration that she would not travel to Brazil, which caused many setbacks in the organization and that was finally resolved when the singer traveled at 01:00 hours this June 12 from New York to Sao Paulo by commercial flight.
The technical failure of the elevator that would make the interpreters of the official song of the 2014 Brazil Soccer World Cup enter the stage, with this failure, the hydraulic system did not complete the ascent and the entrance of the singers to the stage was less novel.
Jennifer López, Pitbull and Claudia Leitte were the ones who sang the World Cup song "Ole, Ola" and, although many of us thought that the audio system was terrible and it was hardly heard, it was finally known that they sang with playback.
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, like her FIFA counterpart, Joseph Blatter, decided not to give an opening speech for fear of public reaction due to their discontent.
The cameraman for the World Cup in Brazil was fired after making the mistake of not broadcasting the moments when the honor play was performed by the paraplegic boy who was able to perform this action thanks to a bionic exoskeleton.
