Confederations Cup will continue despite Brazil protests, say FIFA
FIFA say there are no plans to abandon the Confederations Cup in Brazil, despite the protests that have affected the tournament.
Local media claimed the eight-team competition, which includes Spain and Italy as well as the hosts, could be stopped after an estimated one million people protested in cities across Brazil.
But a FIFA spokesman said: “To date, neither FIFA nor the LOC (local organising committee) have ever discussed any such possibility.”
