"It would be appropriate to choose Brazil as the host nation for the 2014 World Cup," said FIFA's inspection group in the report.

"Brazil has proved its potential and shown itself capable of organising an exceptional FIFA World Cup".

The Brazilian Football Federation (CFB) must officially present its candidacy for the World Cup 2014 at FIFA headquarters in Zurich next Tuesday.

The executive committee will also choose the host nation for the 2011 Women's World Cup between candiates Germany and Canada.
