Methodology and Culture

The organization of the 2014 FIFA and the 2016 Olympic Games represented an exceptional opportunity to accelerate growth and to promote the development of Brazil, generate employment and income, but also to improve infrastructures.

However, Brazil, as a former colony, had a lot to prove. Even if it had experienced strong growth and emergence from some 60-70 years, it didn’t acquire the weight it would like to have in the international scene and is affected by a current crisis.

Taking the realization of the World Cup and the Olympic Games as a challenge, Brazil has sought to show that it could solve its problems while impressing the world by the quality of its organization. A goal that didn’t totally succeeded. Despite the promise of reduction of inequalities and of a tournament in the context of sustainable development, the results are completely different: the development of events started late and at a slow pace, with much higher costs that initial budgets and the Olympic Games are following the same path.

The Brazilian then continue to express their outrage and disappointment at the attitude of their government, which, too ambitious, sink into an economic and social crisis.
