Was tried to base the analysis proposed here, through public notes, documents and programs released by this government and make some constructive thoughts and point out some positives and negatives of public resources in an event of short duration, but it is long-time financial organization and infrastructure to adequately meet the actors taking part in this mega-sporting event. The discussion is merely reflective, because only after the event will be possible to analyze the benefits and harm caused by it, compared to the same event in other countries.
