Ready or not, the warm-up for next year's World Cup - the Confederations Cup - begins in a month at six stadiums across Brazil.
.
It will be the first major international football tournament in this vast South American country since the 1950 World Cup. Many will be watching to see if Brazil can handle this modest eight-team tournament, and then the full focus will turn to next year's 32-team World Cup.
.
Six new or renovated stadiums are in various states of readiness for the Confederations Cup. Six additional ones will be used for next year's World Cup, and none is ready yet.
.
