Zurich - Brazil were officially named by Fifa president Sepp Blatter as hosts of the 2014 World Cup on Tuesday.
The five-time world champions were the only candidates in the race to host the event.
After a final presentation to Fifa executives with Brazil president Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in attendance their bid was rubber-stamped by international football's governing body Fifa's executive committee.

I was there during the last world cup in 2006 and that was great fun and it wasn't even hosted there!
