2014 Fifa World Cup Venues

The cities also housed the 32 teams and fan-zones for spectators without tickets for the stations. Around 3 million tickets were put on sale of which most were sold out in a day. Eighteen locations were presented as potential host cities with the twelve successful candidates announced on 31 May 2009: Belém, Campo Grande, Florianópolis, Goiânia and Rio Branco were rejected, while Maceió had already withdrawn in January 2009.

FIFA proposed that no more than one city could use two stadiums, and the number of host cities was limited between eight and ten. However, FIFA subsequently accepted the Brazilian Football Confederation's suggestion to use twelve host cities in "the interest of the whole country". The twelve selections – each the capital of its state – covered all the main regions of Brazil and created more evenly distributed hosting than the 1950 finals in Brazil provided, when matches were concentrated in the south-east and south. Consequently, the tournament required significant long-distance travel for teams. Statistics show that nearly 10 million passengers used around 20 Brazilian airports in 31 days of the tournament.

The 64 matches were staged at the following 12 stadiums:
