FIFA to monitor Brazil progress
FIFA's top executive will visit Brazil every two months to keep the pressure on to speed up preparations for the 2014 World Cup.
Jerome Valcke, FIFA's secretary general, says "a lot of work" remains to be done, especially on transport infrastructure and airports.

Valcke said in his monthly column on FIFA's website: "2012 will be a fundamental year for FIFA and Brazil in the operational preparation for the two major football tournaments - the FIFA Confederations Cup 2013 and the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
