The Dhaka Times Desk Human rights activists, citizens of different levels of the country have been opposing this organization since the beginning of hosting this World Cup in Brazil. They claim that hosting these lavish games is nothing but a waste of resources in a country where many people are still homeless, without food and without work.
Brazil has won the World Cup five times so far but these World Cup victories have not changed their economic or social status much. Still, Brazilian football clubs develop their country's youth so that they can sell him to European clubs for a high price. Protesters have been gathering in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil since June last year against the World Cup movement. Even before the start of the opening match of the World Cup, protesters protested outside Sao Paulo. Police fired tear gas to disperse them. The Brazilian government says there is no such problem with the movement. But this film highlights the pressing reality of Brazil.
Photographer Edimar Soares took this photo during the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup match between Brazil and Mexico. As spectators line up to watch the game, a teenage girl looks for something to eat inside a dustbin on the side of the road. This picture shows why Brazilians were against their country hosting the Games. The photo, posted on Reddit, then caught the world's attention, with one Reddit user writing that a poor teenage girl is looking for food in a dustbin while a group of people pass by to watch an expensive game.
The Brazilian government has spent about 11 million US dollars on organizing this World Cup. But critics say the amount would be double that. Because FIFA World Cup is one of the most expensive games in the world.
