FIFA has announced the kick-off times for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. And as expected, the news is not good for fans here in China as the time difference will make for some very late nights and very early mornings.Group-stage and knockout stages will kick-off between 1 pm and 9 pm local time in Brazil which means it will be between midnight and 9 am in most countries.

The opening match of the World Cup is scheduled to take place in Sao Paulo on June 12 at 5pm local time in the Brazilian city.
