How do the international sports work do they all speak spanish (brasil)or english?

Why would they speak Spanish in Brazil? Just about any international sport has rules regarding language.

Official languages

1. English, Spanish, French and German are the official languages of FIFA. English is the official language for minutes,

correspondence and announcements.

2. Members are responsible for translations into the language of their Ccountry.

3. English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Arabic and Portuguese are the official languages at the Congress.

Qualified interpreters shall translate into these languages. Delegates may speak in their mother tongue if they ensure

interpretation into one of the official Congress languages by a qualified interpreter.

4. The Statutes, Regulations Governing the Application of the Statutes, the Standing Orders of the Congress,

decisions and announcements of FIFA shall be published in the four official languages. If there is any divergence in the

wording, the English text is authoritative.
