FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke apologized to Brazil on Monday after the country’s government officially informed FIFA that it would no longer deal with him because of his remarks about its preparations for the 2014 World Cup.
In a statement addressed to Brazil’s sports minister, Valcke said his comments translated from French to Portuguese last week came out much stronger than they were supposed to.
The apology came after Brazil delivered a letter signed by Sports Minister Aldo Rebelo to FIFA President Sepp Blatter officially announcing the country’s position not to welcome Valcke.
