Brazilian
Sports Minister Aldo Rebelo has said he is worried about delays at five
stadiums still being built for next year's football World Cup.
Mr Rebelo said the pace of
construction must be accelerated if the venues are to be ready by this December.
Only one of the six stadiums under
construction is on schedule.
It always
amazes me how time and time again stories like this appear with about a year to
go before a World Cup starts, stories about how things aren’t going to be ready
and how construction work is behind schedule etc.
I mean it’s
not like Brazil have had nearly six years to get all this done, oh no
wait yes they have.
Apparently
the venue for the opening match in Sao Paolo is 84% complete, that’s an
interesting figure how do you judge a stadium to be 84% done?
I should
make the point that Mr Rebelo believes that if the pace of construction is
upped then the deadline will be met and the stadiums will be ready on time, and
they probably will be, but just in case I wonder what contingency plan FIFA has
up its sleeve, “There is no plan
B," said FIFA general-secretary Jeremy Valcke during the Confederations
Cup. Terrific.
