A member of Brazil’s team that won the 2002 World Cup, Rivaldo Ferreira, took to Twitter this week to support protesters who say the 30 billion reais ($13.3 billion) being spent on next year’s tournament should go to social services.
“It’s shameful to spend so much money for this World Cup and leave the hospitals and schools in such a precarious state,” posted Rivaldo, who said his father was hit by a car and died after failing to receive medical attention in a public hospital. “At this moment we aren’t in shape to host the World Cup, we don’t need it, we need education and health.”
