This was the scene during last years Confederations Cup, as mass demonstrations caught the government under hope. The upcoming World Cup never presents an even bigger stage for radicalized protesters to air their grievances. [ FOREIGN ] My country doesn't need the World Cup. We need basic education so we can develop. Brazilian authorities are leaving nothing to chance. 170, 000 security forces will be mobilized throughout the country in a bid to keep protesters at bay and football fans safe. Supporters have been warned off visiting Brazil's numerous Favelas. One such slum, Rio's huge Mary Favela Complex was recently pacified after an operation involving hundreds of men, tanks, and helicopters. [ FOREIGN ] These are palliative measures for media sensation. But the problem has only shifted to another place. The government meanwhile points to a 50 % drop in crime in Rio over the past six years to support its tactics. Yet, trouble continues to flare up in Brazil's second most populated city. In April, police were accused of murdering a young dancer, and in ensuing riot, a protester was killed by security forces. [ FOREIGN ] They don't come into the favela to get things organized, they come to bring hell. Despite the tensions, state authorities in FIFA remain confident the World Cup will go ahead without incident. What has happened in the Rio doesn't put again, at risk the organization of the World Cup for FIFA, at all. [ FOREIGN ] More than half a million fans are expected to descend on Brazil for the six week long tournament. And authorities will be hoping that they stay clear of the trouble spots and that football, not violence, will make the headlines. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Security Challenge Represented by the 2014 World Cup","description":"The Security Challenge Represented by the 2014 World Cup","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/PXVHi5sn/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-05-13T15:46:46.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/PXVHi5sn.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/PXVHi5sn/","duration":"PT1M56S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/PXVHi5sn/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
