Resumo
From the political point of view, big sports events are historically seen as a way to strengthen a
country’s institutional image and, consequently, its leaders’ popularity. However, different
conclusions were drawn based on what happened in Brazil during the 2013 Confederation Coup
and the 2014 World Coup. The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of the public
support to the World Cup in Brazil on the Federal Government evaluation and its popularity. The
analysis conducted suggests that citizens’ criticism growth and their frustration regarding future
expectations about basic public services, such as health and education directly affected how
Brazilian people saw those events as well as how they approve the Federal Government. With
voices amplified by world-wide visibility, among many popular manifestations that spread
throughout the country, the FIFA championship was seen as the “people’s opium” once it became
a symbol of popular dissatisfaction. Instead of increasing popularity and facilitating electoral gains
in 2014, the World Cup put the popularity of Brazilian political leaders at risk, more specifically
the Federal Government that led the project. The watchful eye on the support to the World Cup in
Brazil and its correlation with the approval of the governments constitutes in a case to be
considered in the research on the relation between public opinion, sport mega-events and
governmental popularity.
