![the 2014 FIFA World Cup was the 20th FIFA World Cup, the tournament for the association
football world championship, which took place at several venues across Brazil. Germany won
the tournament, defeating runners-up Argentina 1-0 in the final match.
It began on 12 June, with a group stage, and concluded on 13 July with the championship
match.[5] It was the second time that Brazil has hosted the competition, the first being in 1950.
Brazil was elected unchallenged as host nation in 2007 after the international football
federation, FIFA, decreed that the tournament would be staged in South America for the first
time since 1978 in Argentina, and the fifth time overall.
In March 2013, FIFA published a list of 52 prospective referees, each paired, on the basis of
nationality, with two assistant referees, from all six football confederations for the tournament.
On 14 January 2014, the FIFA Referees Committee appointed 25 referee trios and eight
support duos representing 43 different countries for the tournament.
(12 venues) The venues covered all the main regions of Brazil and created more evenly
distributed hosting than the 1950 finals in Brazil. Consequently, the tournament required long-
distance travel for teams. During the World Cup, Brazilian cities were also home to the
participating teams at 32 separate base camps. as well as staging official fan fests where
supporters could view the games.
