Latest estimates put the expected total ticket sales volume for the event at 2.3 million, with many thousands more expected to flock to Rio simply for the experience.

England have been allocated 51,222 tickets for their fans at the World Cup, the sixth highest allocation of the competing nations.

For many, a trip to the FIFA World Cup is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and red24 are aiming to make sure that all football fans have the best possible time.

While the risk of major incidents such as kidnap and terrorism are extremely low, the risk of petty crime incidents such as pick-pocketing remains high.

red24 are offering this service as an extra precaution to give football fans peace of mind about their trip to the World Cup.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup is expected to be one of the biggest world cups ever.  In what many believe to be football's spiritual home in Rio's Maracana Stadium, there will be a fantastic atmosphere for football fans.

Head of Consulting, Steven Thompson said, "We at red24 understand the need for football fans to travel freely when on these trips yet also realise that such a high-profile occasion can attract criminals seeking to take advantage of unsuspecting fans.  That's why we are offering this affordable package as a way for fans to feel they are one step ahead of the rest of the crowd whilst safely enjoying this fantastic event."
