The film may be funny but the background to the campaign is deadly serious: Solidar and its partner organizations in Brazil are making people aware that, although FIFA will once again earn billions in profit with the 2014 World Cup - the people in Brazil will have little cause for celebration. On the contrary: 150,000 people will be evicted from their homes in advance of the World Cup, tens of thousands of street vendors will lose their livelihood due to FIFA's licensing policies and Brazil will be left with a mountain of debt that will inevitably result in a reduction in social benefits. Last but not least, because FIFA is forcing special legislation through so that it will not have to pay any Real taxes on its profits.

Solidar Suisse is demanding that Joseph Blatter make the World Cup a party for everyone. You can support our demands at http://www.fairworldcup.org and blow the whistle on Blatter to express your opinion.
