Brazilian
Ambassador to Ghana, Her Excellency Irene Vida Gala has warned Ghanaian soccer
fans who are planning to travel to Brazil for the World Cup and not return to
Ghana to rescind their decision.
Madam Vida
Gala who was speaking at last Saturdays SWAG Awards says the economy of Brazil
is in shambles and would not be a haven to supporters who are thinking of
settling in the country after the World Cup.
She says living standard is high, state of
economy is poor and that makes her country not conducive to fans who might want
to stay back after the competition.
“The
Brazilian economy is really facing a lot of crisis. For the past few years the
economy has been difficult for people living in Brazil, therefore I will like
to take this opportunity to advice everybody travelling for the world cup to
try and return back to his or her country as soon as the tournament is over,
because the economic situation is not going to be of a favor”, she said.
Her Excellency Vida Gala also took time to
explain to the media about the readiness of Brazil for next month’s World Cup.
“Brazil as a
country is ready for the big tournament. The country is ready to host the rest
of the World. And I promise this World Cup is going to be one of the memorable
World Cups in history. Good luck to all the teams that will participate in the
tournament”, she added.
The 2014
FIFA World Cup kicks starts from June 12 to July 13th.
