when did brazil bid for its first world cup?
24 june to 16 july 1950
the world cup was at risk of not being held for sheer lack of interest from the international community, until brazil presented a bid at the 1946 fifa congress, offering to host the event on condition that the tournament take place in 1950 (it was originally planned to take place in 1949). brazil and germany had been the leading bidders to host the cancelled 1942 world cup; since both the 1934 and 1938 tournaments had been held in europe, football historians generally agree that the 1942 event would most likely have been awarded to a south american host country. brazil's new bid was very similar to the mooted 1942 bid and was quickly accepted.

brazil formally declared its candidacy in december 2006, and colombia did so as well a few days later. the argentina bid never materialized. on 11 april 2007, colombia officially withdrew its bid, making brazil the only official candidate to host the event in 2014.
