The Rio World Cup 2014 security is deemed serious enough that even the war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan have been used as an analogy by Brazil's sports minister. Meanwhile, soccer fans might spend at least $3,000 if they want a chance to cheer their respective teams.

According to news.com.au, Brazilian sports minister Aldo Rebelo admitted that the security for Rio World Cup 2014 starting June 12 is a serious concern, but he quickly added that it's not as bad as the situation in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Although Rio de Janeiro has been having some "serious problems relating to security," he said that it's not likely "the English will confront greater threats in Manaus than in the Iraqi provinces or Afghanistan, where they recently lost hundreds of young soldiers."

Brazil has been trying to downplay the riots and violence that occurred, particularly in host city Rio de Janeiro. Last month, said news.com.au, riots sparked at the Copacobana Beach area and just this month, a man was shot during a clash with authorities in an area that is in close proximity to the hotel where the England team is staying.

Rio de Janeiro will host seven games in the World Cup and security has been heightened to the extent that 170,000 police and private security personnel will be deployed for the event.

Those attending Rio World Cup 2014 will not only worry about security but also their pockets as well as CNN Money reported that they might spend somewhere between $3,000 to $30,000 to see their favorite teams.

Although the total expenses may vary, a "quick trip to see a match or two" will cost around $3,000 and that will already include your plane fare, hotels, tickets as well as extra money to spend.

"If you hope to follow your team all the way to the final on July 13 in Rio de Janiero -- and upgrade to smarter hotels -- costs could balloon to over $30,000," CNN added.
