Brazil’s death toll in football violence tops world list
Brazil, with 42 fans dead during ten years of football violence, tops the world’s tragic list, according to a study released Sunday.
The study’s authors said the numbers were of major concern, especially with Brazil’s role as host to the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
The study included deaths that occurred in or around the stadium during violent clashes with other fans, said Mauricio Murad of the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). The study, called “A Sad, Perverse Achievement,” covered the time frame 1999-2008. “As we began the study, Brazil was in third place in comparison to other countries. Italy topped the list, followed by Argentina and Brazil,” Murad said Sunday in an interview with the state news agency Agencia Brazil.
Today, ten years after the study began, Brazil leads the list. The violence is according to Murad a major concern for the country, especially with its role in 2014. Public security is a major issue at the World Cup events.
One reason for the disturbing trend is that Brazil in the past has failed to enact laws to address violence between rival fan groups.
Italy had taken such reform steps. “In Brazil, there has unfortunately been insufficient substantive reactions” Murad said. He said it was unsettling that the number of dead has climbed in the course of the years.
On average, 4.2 Brazilian fans were killed over the ten-year period. Between 2004 and 2008, the average was 5.6 deaths per year, and in 2007 and 2008, there were seven killed each year. “The violence in football is growing because overall violence in the country is increasing. Violence is on the increase because of lack of punishment for crimes and corruption,” Murad charged.
The study was based on newspaper and other media reports, which were later confirmed by court forensics specialists and police officials.

Viva la Vida
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning and I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy‘s eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
“Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!”
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
