The grandest tournament in the world of football is quite close now, with the football-lovers counting days for the beginning of the game. Brazil, the host country, is putting its best efforts to organize the tournament in the best possible manner. Brazil received a boost when FIFA officially declared that its Curitiba stadium is ready for the tournament. This declaration has served as the cause for a sigh of relief for the tournament organizers. In case, the stadium was not complete, and FIFA decided to move the games elsewhere, the tournament organizers would have needed to reimburse prices of hotels, flights and tickets for the world cup, for fans and teams.
A Sigh of Relief for Brazil:
The assessor of FIFA, Charles Botta, examined the Curitiba stadium and concluded that the stadium had progressed adequately in the past few months. However, the football’s governing organization warned the host country that there is a very little margin for any error, and advised the nation against slacking off. A sigh of relief ran through Brazil with FIFA declaring the stadium to be qualified for the tournament.
Curitiba stadium has been confirmed as a venue for the world cup, on the basis of the progress made, commitment by all the stakeholders and the financial guarantees. FIFA has stated that preparing the stadium for the game was like a race with a tight timeline. Even now, the stakeholders should continue putting their efforts collectively at the highest pace.
How did everything turn out?
Curitiba stadium was initially in a very bad condition, and appeared to be far from complete. The stadium images featured workers, cement mixers, cranes and scaffolding, wandering through the stone and cement piles.
The owners of the stadium have said that the stadium is 91% complete now, and the work has sufficiently accelerated ion the past few months, to prepare it for its opening game – a match of Nigeria against Iran.
The announcement on “D-Day”, as it was dubbed, occurred when coaches belonging to the 32 participants of the World Cup held a meeting for a technical seminar on facilities and logistics, in Florianopolis’s southern city.
A month ago, the secretary general of FIFA gave warning to Curitiba stating that it had only four weeks for shifting construction gears. If it failed, it may be at the risk of getting thrown out of the world cup tournament. The secretary clearly said that FIFA cannot conduct a match in the absence of a stadium. At that time, the stadium was far behind in construction, and it had also failed in meeting the deadlines set up by FIFA. According to reports, FIFA had started looking for substitute venues.
However, with the hard work of the host nation, Curitiba stadium has qualified to be used in the tournament. The stadium’s preparation to be eligible for the tournament within such a limited timeframe is indeed appreciable. It is ready to accommodate the teams and the fans during the matches, and provide them a grand experience. You can book your tickets to the FIFA world cup in advance to be in the host nation for enjoying the tournament with the help of the World Cup Master.
