People burn tyres and block access to Brasilia’s Mane Garrincha, one of the six host stadiums for the upcoming Confederations Cup, to protest in part against the government’s policy of the expenditure for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, on June 14, 2013. A police spokesman said the protest was organized by the Homeless Workers Movement (MTST) which is campaigning to reduce Brazil’s housing shortage by staging squatters’ occupations in abandoned government buildings. Brazil faces Japan Saturday at Mane Garrincha in the opening game of the two-week Confederations Cup, a dry run for next year’s World Cup. AFP PHOTO / YASUYOSHI CHIBA
