And the First Team to Arrive in Brazil is...
Team Australia touched down at the Curitiba International Airport in Brazil on Wednesday becoming the first team to arrive in Brazil for the FIFA World Cup 2014™.
Australia is the lowest-ranking of the 32 teams in the tournament but midfielder Tommy Oar said that they were using that as a motivation.
“We are the underdogs. It will be a good opportunity for the Australian team to surprise, so this is all very exciting. And being in the ‘soccer country’ is an extra motivation, of course,” Oar said in a statement released by FIFA.
“We’ve been training for the last few days and things have gone well. We still have some two more weeks to keep on training, so I think we will be well-prepared for the World Cup."
Australia, who are playing in their third straight World Cup, have their first match on June 13 against Chile as part of Group B. They will also face Spain and the Netherlands.
