Public School Students Win World Cup Ticket

Last Saturday, May 3rd, the Federal Government raffled 48,000 tickets for the Soccer World Cup among public schools in the cities that will host the games: Belo Horizonte; Brasilia; Cuiabá; Curitiba; Strength; Manaus; Christmas; Porto Alegre; Recife; Rio de Janeiro; Salvador and São Paulo. Another 2,000 tickets will be distributed to indigenous communities linked to the National Indian Foundation (Funai) and the Intertribal Committee.

Tickets were donated by the International Football Federation (FIFA), with the intention of distributing them in Brazilian social programs, in this case the More Education Program, and to the indigenous population. In all, 901 schools were awarded and the number of tickets to be received depends on the order of the draw.

UPDATE: see the schools that won tickets

There are tickets for all 2014 World Cup matches, but most are for matches that had low demand from the public, such as Russia and South Korea, in Cuiabá, on June 17, with 4,202 tickets for network students public. The opening match, between Brazil and Croatia, on June 12 in São Paulo, has the lowest number of tickets in the program, just 24. Brazil against Mexico, in Belo Horizonte, will have 286 tickets, and Brazil against Cameroon, in Brasília, 100 tickets.

Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)

Distribution

The principals of the selected schools now need to inform the name and documents of the people who will be responsible for the process of distributing tickets to students, through the Integrated Monitoring System for Execution and Control (simec), from the Ministry of Education. The names and places of the students must also be informed in Simec. Tickets must be collected at official distribution centers.
