Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff: "With regard to the World Cup, I want to clarify that the federal money spent on the stadiums is in the form of financing that will be duly repaid by the companies and (state) governments that are exploiting these stadiums. "#Brazil is the only country to have participated in every World Cup and is five-times world champion and has always been well received everywhere. "We must give our friends the same generous welcome we have received from them - with respect, love and joy. This is how we must treat our guests. Football and sport are symbols of peace and peaceful coexistence among peoples. "#Brazil deserves to, and will, host a great World Cup."
