Rousseff is extremely unpopular with Brazilians who are angry that the government spent large amounts of money on the World Cup in lieu of the country's other needs.
The closing ceremony will take place on July 13. Tom Brady, Bundchen's husband and the quarterback for the New England Patriots, is expected to attend.
