Brazil must up its game to finish work for World Cup - FIFA


FLORIANOPOLIS, Brazil (Reuters) - Brazil still has a lot of work to do to finish stadiums and other infrastructure in time for the World Cup and needs to up its game in the 111 days before the kick off, FIFA's Jerome Valcke said on Friday.

"There is a strong demand for tickets, a huge demand from abroad, and we have to be prepared for them in the best possible way," the secretary general of world soccer's governing body told reporters on the last day of FIFA's pre-World Cup workshop.
