Zurich, Oct 30: Brazil will stage the 2014 World Cup after a vote Tuesday by the executive committee of football governing body FIFA.

The South American country was the only nation bidding to host the tournament which is due to be staged on the continent under FIFA's rotation system.

Brazil, who have won the World Cup a record five times, have hosted the World Cup once before, in 1950. The 2010 World Cup is being hosted by South Africa.

Meanwhile, Germany was selected as hosts of the women's 2011 World Cup, winning the vote ahead of fellow bidders Canada.

Germany successfully staged the men's World Cup in 2006, while the German women's team recently in China won back-to-back World Cup titles.

The decisions were announced by FIFA president Joseph Blatter in Zurich.

Brazil president Luiz Lula da Silva was present for a 30-minute presentation by the Brazilian federation which featured former striker star Romario, national team coach Carlos Dunga, Brazilian football federation chief Ricardo Teixeira and novelist Paulo Coelho.

The vote for Brazil by 21 members present of the 24-member FIFA executive committee was unanimous.

A FIFA inspection team had given Brazil the thumbs up during a visit in August.

Happy Birthday Maradona

Oct 29: Years after modern football’s greatest star Diego Maradona helped his team win the soccer World Cup he seems to step into a new role this time only unknowingly.

Inspired by Diego Maradona’s religious fanaticism literally, a group of fervent fans set a up a church venerating their idol that celebrates Maradonian Christmas on his birthday, October 30.

On the occassion two young Mexican couples tied the knot in Argentina at a ceremony overseen by a church venerating Diego Maradona.

"At first it was strange, something I didn't completely understand. Then I got nervous and after that it was just pure emotion and nerves for the wedding. But obviously I'm happy," said Mario Cuellar

"The idea started with the other couple, Adrian and Olivia, that just got married with us. They suggested it, we accepted and that's how it was born."

In Spanish, Diez, or ten, is just one vowel short of Dios, or God and for fans, the man who wore the number ten is a deity.

Outside the club, followers milled about with soccer jerseys bearing the number sacred number, showing off their Maradona tattoos and chatting.

Maradona, 47, is worshipped for his electric play, timely goals and bold, sometimes poetic statements. Humble beginnings couldn't stop Maradona from being the star for the legendary Boca Juniors, leading Argentina to a 1986 World Cup victory, and making an indelible mark on the world.
