Bank access is lost when Brazil football team is in match

The World Cup runs from June 11 to July 11 and Brazil team is one of the favourites. Brazil's passion for football is also in a very high position.

For this reason a statement of Central Bank of Brazil said that the country's banks can close when the national team is playing games in the World Cup in South Africa.

The measure is not only to allow football-mad bank staff to catch the live broadcasts, but also "to avoid security lapses" in the banks and armored cash transport, according to the central bank.
