Brazilian Minister of Sports Orlando Silva has promised that all 12 stadiums for the 2014 World Cup finals will be ready by the end of 2013.
There have been severe delays in all 12 cities chosen to stage the matches.
But Silva said: "Brazil will be ready as agreed with [world governing body] Fifa in terms of infrastructure."
He added: "Eight stadiums will be ready by the end of 2012; 10 by the start of the Confederations Cup in 2013; and all 12 by the end of 2013."
Most of the planned investments for the World Cup are state-sponsored with federal and local governments in Brazil pledging $13bn (£8m) to boost the country's infrastructure.
The bulk of the money - $6.4bn (£3.93bn) - will be spent on much-needed upgrades in the public transport systems of the host cities with the hope that the investment in the tournament will have long-lasting effects on people's lives.
"Most of these investments will translate into a legacy for the Brazil population after the World Cup," stated Silva, who hopes the 2014 event could create 700,000 new jobs.
However, the Brazilian minister of sports revealed that the cost per seat for all 12 stadiums had risen to $7,000 (£4,300), which he attributed to the "strong expansion of the Brazilian economy".
The cost per seat for the recent construction of Primera Liga outfit Espanyol's new stadium in Barcelona was £1,630.
"Fifa's requirements for the World Cup also have had an impact on costs - for example telecommunications - and that has an effect on the cost of the stadiums," Silva said.
Fifa executives will travel to Brazil next week for the qualifying draw for the 2014 finals and will see at first hand what work has been done.
