As the clock continues to run, we now approach the 30-day countdown for the much-anticipated 2014 World Cup and one of the biggest travel and tourism events in Brazil. After anxiously waiting for over four years, national soccer teams and fans from all around the world will congregate in Sao Paulo for the opening match of Brazil versus Croatia at the Arena Corinthians to take place Thursday, June 12.

The latest ticket numbers for the 2014 World Cup show that Brazil has the highest ticket sales with 1,168,896 tickets; followed by United States with 187,063 tickets; Germany with 58,885 tickets; England with 56,219; and Argentina with 55,524 tickets rounds up the top five highest World Cup ticket buying countries.

Although it has been a world wind journey leading up to the World Cup, all of the hard work Brazil has put into preparations will make the tournament and its many attractions, worthwhile. Even though Brazil can easily exceed 30, in spirit of the 30-day countdown, Embratur (the Brazilian Tourism Board) presents the 30 things to look forward to in and around the twelve host cities of the World Cup.
