Sepp Blatter, the Fifa President, has admitted that Brazil may have been the wrong choice to host
next year’s World Cup, as riots erupted in one of Rio’s
main tourist areas just days before a visit by the Pope.
Police fired teargas and arrested 15 protesters in the beach
area of Leblon as demonstrators returned to the streets to voice their anger at
the amount of money spent on preparations for the football tournament, and
alleged police brutality.
