As the World Cup 2014 draws closer on June 12, FIFA launches its first teaser video to increase the hype. The video is expected to be broadcasted on television regularly during the tournament, in a report by FIFA.com.
The video was in full animation, with the opening scene featuring a young boy playing with his soccer ball on top of a roof, with a majestic view of Rio de Janeiro's seashore and mountains. The next scene features the famous parades and festivals of Brazil with flags waving and hot air balloons presenting a rich array of colors and the green Brazilian flag. People were celebrating on the streets while children were kicking soccer balls everywhere. Several parts of the clip also showcased the newly built arenas in different parts of the country where the games will be held.
The FIFA video lasted 49 seconds and showed many of the natural wonders and attractions that Brazil is known for, like its rainforests and exotic birds and animals, the beautiful beaches and resorts, the friendly and warm people and fun parties. The closing scene featured all the newly built arenas and flags of different participating countries. The stadiums emitted a colored spirit which hovered above the country from each location to finally form the official green and yellow logo of the tournament. Below the logo are the words "FIFA World Cup Brasil".
