RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazil announced a strategy on Sunday that will help increase its security during the 2014 World Cup.

The newly created Special Secretariat for Large Events looks to identify Hooligans in foreign countries and prohibit their entrance into the country during the World Cup, reported the Folha de Sao Paulo.

A joint effort between the Federal Police and Armed forces will control the identification of foreigners entering the country before the World Cup.

The Special Secretariat for Large Events has requested information from England, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, South Africa, the United States and Argentina in order to create a black list of potential security risks, including Hooligans and terrorists.

Brazil is expecting to receive some 600,000 soccer fans during the World Cup and wants to avoid any problems before they have a chance to start.

During the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the country spent an estimated $250 million on security. Brazil has yet to divulge the amount they will allocate towards security.

The country estimates the work force of more than 45,000 towards security, not including the Armed Forces.
