Ground staff at Rio de Janeiro’s 3 airports plan to stage a 24-hour partial strike June 12, the day Brazil hosts the opening match of the World Cup. The workers vowed to maintain 80% service, but the strike will nevertheless raise fears of delays as thousands of football fans descend on the city around the opening match in Sao Paulo and first game in Rio on Sunday, June 15. In London, the Sunday Times reported that millions of dollars in bribes were paid to help Qatar secure hosting rights for the 2022 World Cup. This prompted a former chairman of England’s Football Association to say FIFA, the football world governing body, acts like a “mafia family.” He added that FIFA has “a decades-long tradition of bribes, bungs and corruption.”
