World football's governing body says Brazil has been demanding too much in negotiating the conditions for hosting the 2014 World Cup but a legal dispute should be settled within days,
FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke says he hopes to resolve final differences over discounted tickets at a meeting in Rio de Janeiro later this week.
Brazil has resisted changing its laws banning alcohol in stadiums and providing discounted tickets for people over 65 and FIFA has become frustrated because the World Cup bill which sets the rules for the event has been held up for months in Congress.
Soccer's world ruling body says Brazil's rules would raise the cost of the event and restrict its ability to protect sponsors ' trademarks and brands.
The dispute has added to worries about Brazil's ability to organise the global sports event, compounded by delays in building a dozen stadiums and corruption allegations against the head of its soccer confederation, Ricardo Teixeira.
