2014 is World Cup year and Brazil, one of the world's greatest footballing nations will be hosting this event which happens every four years. The host nation have chosen an endangered armadillo as the mascot for the 2014 World Cup. Fuleco is its name.
The mascot was unveiled by former Brazil striker Ronaldo during a television programme recently. Fifa said the mascot represented the three-banded armadillo, an endangered species indigenous to Brazil.While nature's version is light brown in colour, Fifa's mascot is yellow with green eyes and a blue shell, the colours of the Brazilian flag, and will be holding aloft a football.
I have been a long-time supporter of Brazil and am hoping to see some great football in June and July.
