Considering Brazil is seen by many as the spiritual home of football, it is perhaps surprising that this is just the second time that the World Cup will be staged in the country.
The fourth World Cup, in 1950, was held in Brazil, with Uruguay beating the hosts 2-1 in the last final group game to win the trophy.
The winning goal in that game, scored by Alcides Ghiggia, came just 10 minutes from the end of the game, where a draw would have seen Brazil lift the trophy on home soil instead.
Now, 64 years later, they will hope to amend that record.
