YEREVAN. – It is still unclear how much Brazil will get in revenue from hosting the World Cup, Brazil's Ambassador to Armenia Edson Marinho Duarte Monteiro said during a press conference on Tuesday.

However, the revenue received in San Paolo shows that the tournament exceeded expectations, Ambassador added.

“We hosted 600,000 guests with majority of them coming from Latin America. Asked whether they are pleased with organization and will return to Brazil again, they said “yes”. It is too early to speak about the profit,” he said.

There were few problems with transportation and at the airports, Ambassador assured.

“During the final, there were 35 million tweets, but internet connection worked without disruption. For the first time we used 4G connection, that was a success,” the diplomat added.]

He admitted there were some problems before the tournament started, a lot of money was spent and there was public discontent. Nevertheless, Edson Marinho Duarte Monteiro is happy that such a tournament took place in Brazil.
