I took all the pictures from StadionWelt.de, so not all of them is actual.
Comments, please! :)

they are all old, i hope all of them(exept maracana) goes down for giving space for new ones for the world cup 2014

^^
Oh yeah. We have only 3 new stadiums (I say new as modern, useble at World Cup): Baixada Arena, Castelão and Belém's Olímpico. Maracanã is under reform to be able to World Cup. Morumbi and Mineirão is not so modern, but they have a good infraestructure, so I think they'll be used on WC.

In Rio, a new stadium is under construction: João Havelange. It will be used for Pan-american Games, in 2007, and certainlly will be used on WC too.

I think cities like São Paulo, Recife, Salvador, Porto Alegre and Brasília deserves new and modern stadiums. We have still 8 years to construct them.

Thanks, voxp!

Maracana big stadiums, but the construction is old and bad. Downstairs is not a good place to watch the match

I'm not certainy even those 3 could be used as they are now as Baixadas only is 26K capacity (even extended on the final side I'd guess it would be under 35 k) and Castelão has the stands along way from the pitch.

Is the cash going to be their for say 10 new stadiums? I spose the advanatge you have over the likes of Portigal and Japan is that you've got loads of teams who could regularly fill 40K stadia.

My city has more than 2 million people living here.

We have few, but very good areas for sports.

In football, Volleyball, Basketball, Swimming, we have some of the bests teams in Brazil.

What do you think about our venues?
Remember! We were a third world country and dont had a lot of money and investment, like USA, Europe, China or Japan.

racist sho 'nuff!

I think it'll be good if Brazil does host the 2014 WC as everyone already seems to accept - virtually all those stadia need some serious renovation and the tournament would provide a good reason to open the purse strings.

^^Totally agree Madman :yes:

Are some of these stadiums used for sports other than football? I counted 6 stadiums which are almost perfectly round in design. Probably the worst shape for a football ground. Certain spectators must be at least 50 metres from the pitch!

If Brazil does get the 2014 WC, rather than upgrade these stadiums I hope they rebuild them instead.

the Beira Rio in Porto Alegre is being rebuilt

I don't see at all how these stadia could be renovated to World Cup standards. I guess the only alternative is to build all new stadia. Kill your darlings.

(and complete the Arena do Baixada of course)

Some of the Stadiums will be renovated, but the great majority will be built. Most of the Brazilian Stadiums were built in the 60´s and 70´s therefore they are a bit old today for World Cup games and will be even older for 2014. Brazil intends to spend a lot of money to make their stadiums as good as their players. There is a brand new stadium already being built in Rio de Janeiro, for the Rio´s Pan American Games 2007.

Yes, but I bet it won't be used in the FIFA World Cup due to the number of big cities that could host the competition in Brazil. That means that probably there will be only one venue for each town, and there's Maracanã.......

I just mentioned this new Stadium being built in Rio, the João Havelange Stadium for 45.000 spectators all seated and covered, just as an example of how they would invest in brand new Stadiums in Brazil, specially if the FIFA World Cup in 2014 really does happen in Brazil it would be an excellent excuse for heavy investments in this area.

the Beira Rio in Porto Alegre is being rebuilt

no its not. There are PLANS to rebuild it.

well, at least it was not being rebuilt this last sunday, when Grêmio beat Internacional at their own ground to win the Rio Grande do Sul state championship.

hehe, most of them are olympic style stadiums, but they are never used for anything but football. Well, the players can do the winning run holding the trophy in the olympic track :)

Ah, another good thing about olympic stadiums is that there is a bigger space between the crowd and the pitch... so its harder for the crowd to hit the players with bottles... its also harder for rowdy fans to invade the pitch, since they have to run more before security personel or cops get them! :)

Brazilian Stadiums... Very very old, most of then built in 60's and 70's. Sorry that is in portuguese, i copied from Brazilian forum but here is a vocabulary:

Estádio: Stadium
Inauguração: Inauguration (day/month/year)

How rude!

What is the last stadium in your original post?

http://img370.imageshack.us/img370/3684/castelao24tm.jpg

Has no name or info to go with it...

Maracanã is a must !

looks like you will have a long way to go until 2014!!

tired-looking stadiums that are miles from the pitch - you'd expect better from such a football-mad country.

give 2014 to the aussies. they may well be putting forward cricket grounds but at least they're modern cricket grounds!

Let's not be hasty here! I am not ready to make that conclusion just yet. They've earned a fair chance to try to get the logistics of the World Cup in order. I do think, though, that they need to come to a decision quickly because they need more time to move forward on renovations, infrastructure, etc..

And I think the following cities should be host:

Rio
SP
Brasilia
Fortaleza
Belo Horizonte
Curitiba
Manaus
Salvador
Goiania
Porto Alegre
Recife
Belem

They may take out 2 cities, like they did with South Africa. In that case, take out either Manaus/Belem, Goiania/Manaus, Recife/Goiania or Salvador/Manaus from that list.

I hope Brasils stadiums are completely rebuilt for the world cup, cos I HATE grounds where the stands are miles from the pitch.

like Berlin´s Olympic Stadium, where the final match of the 2006 World Cup will happen?

I agree, 06 WC final being held in Berlin is a dissapointment, I made my view clear in the WC 06 venues thread, they should have reduced the height of the pitch, thus increasing capacity of the ground and getting rid of that stupid running track.

^ It was a catch-22 situation. If they made it football-only, they "kill off" the history of that venue, even though that history is directly related to the 1936 (a.k.a. the Fuhrer) Summer Olympics. I guess they can defend it by noting that Jesse Owens made history there so the athletics track must stay.

But back to the topic at hand. The Brasilian grounds are multipurpose for a reason. They are places where the people in every city can participate in competitions having to do with athletics, though football will always remain the main activity at those grounds. Also remember that there is a wealth disparity in Brasil, which creates a huge disincentive to reinvest in physical upgrades, maintenance, etc.. When people can only afford a couple of Euro to attend a given match, the clubs are then in an economic disadvantage. Notice when a player becomes very good he is then sold off to one of the continental clubs (usually Italy or Spain). That's because once the player "matures" he is then unaffordable.

It is amazing that South American clubs can even compete in the World Clubs Cup given the circumstances. It shows you how far ahead in player development they have been until recently.

You can say what you like, but, all, the stadiums are shit. Even the Marcana... They could make something out of it, but a lot of work ahead guys

I like Brazilian stadia, especially the concrete bowls like Beira Rio. Most people who go to the world cup are rich JCL's. Fuck 'em. Don't rebuild the stadia for that bunch of parasites. These are historic buildings.

It's not really about "those parasites" but more about fixing them up a bit, making look more decent, pouring some new concrete, put in some new restrooms. Better safety. Things like that. Get those grounds up to speed since a bit older now.

Sorry Isaac, but I think you're talking rubbish.

There is no way you can stage a world cup with those grounds, they are unsafe and VERY dated. Besides, its not the image Brazil, the worlds greatest footballing nation, would want to portray to the rest of the world. It would be an embarrasement. The Brasilian govornment will have to inject cash to upgrade basically all the stadiums for the WC. I mean I even heard they can't fill the Maracana, one of the flagship stadiums, cos its not structurally safe.
Historic buildings, please. More like prehistoric. And don't whinge about 'parasites, etc', if you want to stage the WC you are expected to cater for the worlds travelling football fans. I have travelled to 5 different countries to watch England play, I'm not rich, I just save like hell to go. Many of my fellow fans are the same, so grow up and shut up.

like Berlin´s Olympic Stadium, where the final match of the 2006 World Cup will happen?

Probably Rio de Janeiro

What a love that Brazil has over soccer. Every single stadium is gorgeous.

During the Panamerican Games 2003 in Santo Domingo, Rio de Janeiro won against San Antonio, USA, the dispute to be host of Panam 2007. Since then they are rebuilting many places and constructing new ones. more info in the official site www.rio2007.org.br (http://www.rio2007.org.br)

first a little info about the games:

The Pan American games are a continental version of the Olympic Games which includes the Olympic Program sports and others that are not part of the Olympics. Conducted every four years, always one year before the Olympic Games, the first Pan American Games were held in 1951, in Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina. However, its origin dates back to 1932, in the Los Angeles Olympic Games. Inspired by the holding of the first Central American Games six years earlier, the Latin American representatives of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) proposed the creation of a competition that would include all the countries in the Americas, for the purpose of strengthening sport activities in the region.

The idea resulted in the first Pan American Sports Congress, held in Buenos Aires in 1940. In principle the Congress determined that the inaugural games would be held in 1942 in the Argentine capital - plans that were postponed due to World War II.

At the end of the conflict, a second Pan American Sports Congress in London during the 1948 Olympic Games, confirmed Buenos Aires as the host for the first Pan American Games, finally scheduled for 1951.
Competitions started on February 25th and included 2,513 athletes from 21 countries, with 18 sports.

Over more than 50 years, the Pan American Games never failed to occur, and have been held in cities in every corner of the continent.

From the extreme north, like Winnipeg (Canada), host of two events - 1967 and 1999 - to the south, like Mar del Plata (Argentina) which hosted the 1995 Games. The Pan American Games also visited Mexico City (Mexico), Chicago (USA), Cali (Colombia), San Juan (Puerto Rico), Caracas (Venezuela), Indianapolis (USA), Havana (Cuba) and Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic).
In addition, the Games have already been to Brazil. In 1963, São Paulo was the host to the fourth edition of the event. The Games were a success, mobilizing the entire city to the point where 40 thousand people attended the Opening Ceremony held at the Pacaembu Stadium.

The Pan American Games have been growing in size and importance with as edition of the event occurs. In less than half a century, the event has doubled in number of countries, athletes, and sports, becoming one of the main events in the world's sports calendar.

The editions of the Pan American Games are as follows:

1951 - Buenos Aires (Argentina) - February 25th to March 9th

Because comfort and convenience for athletes and managers is a priority, the Village will be located within a 10km radius from more than 60% of the competition locations, the Main Press Center (MPC) and the International Broadcasting Center (IBC). Furthermore, all distances inside the Village will be within walking distance, but there will be an internal shuttle system. The Village will be encircled by a ring of vegetation to provide healthful isolation for the athletes.

The project will follow International Olympic Committee (IOC) guidelines for Olympic Villages. There will be maximum security and comfort, as well as 24-hour medical care services. The apartments will have one, two, three or four bedrooms, and even the beds will take into account the athletes' height. The restaurant will have capacity to serve 4,000 people at one sitting. There will also be large leisure and entertainment facilities for the athletes. The Village will accommodate up to 8.000 persons during the Games. The project includes environmental protection measures, such as swage treatment stations and solar energy use.


Address: Avenida Ayrton Senna, 3.400, Barra da Tijuca


Sport: Canoe / Kayak (Sprint), Water Skiing and Rowing


Capacity: 3,000 people

The history of the XV Pan American Games Rio 2007 started in 1998. At that time, Rio de Janeiro was the only city which had expressed to the Brazilian Olympic Committee (BOC) its interest in organizing the Games.

In 2001, the Municipal Government of the City of Rio de Janeiro and the BOC fulfilled all the necessary requirements of the candidacy formal process. They elaborated the Letter of Responsibility - defining the commitments and responsibilities which a Pan-american Games host city had to fulfill. The Municipal Government paid the enrollment fee and, in partnership with BOC, created the Candidacy Committee. BOC was endowed with leadership of the bidding process.


At that time, teh Mayor of Rio de Janeiro César Maia, and the president of BOC, Carlos Arthur Nuzman, defined that the event would be concentrated in Barra da Tijuca because of its flat topography, suitable space occupancy, freely available space and good road network. Some of the project's highlights were not only the capacity to bring together all competitions within the same urban perimeter, but also the possibility of concentrating approximately 60 per cent of the competition venues and the Pan American Village within a radius of only 10 Km in the privileged Barra da Tijuca region. This meant convenience and comfort for the athletes and other participating members of the Games. For the city of Rio de Janeiro, it was the consolidation of its vocation to successfully host large scale international events such as the United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development (RIO-92), and the visit of Pope John Paul II.

The Prefecture created the Candidacy Committee, which formalized the project's basic concept, with some budget estimation, and whose ideas were shared by the Municipal, the Federal and State Governments.

DECISIVE SUPPORT

The bid gained support from the three spheres of government - federal, state and municipal ones. Former Brazilian President, Mr. Fernando Henrique Cardoso, the Ministry of Sport, and even the local councilors from Rio's Municipality, with its 42 members, gave the green light to the project. The dream of embracing the Pan American Games 2007 also received support from the state government and the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro State.

In August 2001, Rio launched its international campaign by presenting the project during the Pan American Sports Organization (PASO) General Assembly, held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. And the city presented its candidacy in international sporting events later in Ecuador, Argentina and Guatemala.

Then in April 2002, Rio confirmed its participation in the dispute by presenting its candidacy dossier to PASO. Together with the document, designed by Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV) and delivered to each representative of the 42 member countries, the Prefecture paid the second installment of the enrollment fee to ratify the candidacy.

IMPORTANT ADVERSARY

But that was just the beginning. Rio had a very strong competitor. San Antonio - a North American city in the State of Texas that happens to be the electoral cradle of US President, George W. Bush - was offering a major infrastructure to host the Games. In May, Rio de Janeiro presented its candidacy project to the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) General Assembly in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The next month PASO sent both competing cities an Evaluation Commission and it was soon clear that the dispute would be evenly matched. At that time, in an interview to the Brazilian press, members of this commission revealed that they were rather impressed after their visit to Rio.

Another factor placed Rio de Janeiro in a stronger position. For security reasons, Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, was not able to organize the South American Games, scheduled for April 2002. When the Committee was ready to cancel or postpone the event to 2003, BOC readily offered to host the Games in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Curitiba and Belém. Thanks to the partnerships with the Municipal Goverments of Rio, São Paulo and Curitiba, and the Pará State Government (Belém is the capital), in less than four months an infrastructure capable of providing for 4,650 participants was provided. The successful organization of this event, which took place from August 1st to 11th, had an amazing effect, not only amongst South American countries but also in North, Central America, and the Caribbean. Athletes, referees, coaches and South American organizers could verify very closely the conditions of the city's infrastructure, thus strengthening the ability of Rio and Brazil of hosting the Pan American Games.

THE VICTORY

On the 24th of August 2002, the host-city election date for the 2007 Pan-American Games, Rio's bid arrived in Mexico City, and presented itself with tremendous strength to ODEPA's Assembly. Mayor César Maia; the former Minister for Sport and Tourism, Caio de Carvalho; the Municipal Secretary for Sports and Leisure, Ruy Cezar; the State Secretary for Sports at the time, Asfilófio de Oliveira; the former Municipal Secretary for Tourism, José Eduardo Guinle; the BOC's president, Carlos Arthur Nuzman and the director of international affairs for the bid, Carlos Roberto Osório were there to represent Rio. The final presentation highlighted the social legacy of the Games for Brazil and Latin America as a whole, on the understanding that sport is a vehicle for social inclusion. The presentation created an even greater impact because the video presented statements by President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, and of the four main candidates running for the presidency of Brazil at that time. All of them reaffirmed publicly their support and commitment to Rio with its project of staging the Rio 2007 Pan American Games, allied to the professional expertise and work under COB's leadership.
With so many positive aspects in its favor, Rio ended up celebrating the victory with 30 votes to 21 - the largest difference in votes ever obtained by a city bidding to host the Pan American Games. In the election, the 51 votes were cast by 42 American countries: Brazil, United States, Mexico, Colombia, Canada, Argentina, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Cuba had already hosted the Games and for this reason had double votes.

What a love that Brazil has over soccer. Every single stadium is gorgeous.

Unfortunelly they are very old and people destroyed many of the chairs and WCs... so they prefere not to put chairs, also because they can put more people in the stadium.

As well as being one of the first countries to know Basketball, Brazil was one of the first countries to conquer international titles, and specially, to participate in all of the world's main events. With a rich history in triumphs, both with the Women and Men National Teams, our country, apart from having harvests of idols in this sport, also acquired know-how in hosting international competitions. From 1954 to 1997, two World Championships for Men, three World Championships for Women and two World Championships for Junior National Teams (for Women, in 1997, and for Men, in 1979) were accomplished in Brazil.


In 1954, Brazil hosted the second edition of the World Championship for Men, from October 22th to November 5th. National teams from 12 countries came to Rio de Janeiro for a competition staged at Maracanãzinho, a gymnasium for 18 thousand people. Despite the local crowd support, Brazil finished second, losing the gold medal to the United States.


Three years later, in 1957, Rio de Janeiro was again the center of world basketball, hosting the second World Championship for Women. From October 13th to the 26th, 12 countries fought for the title, which was conquered by the United States. Brazil finished fourth.


In 1963, Brazil and Rio de Janeiro set once more the stage for another World Championship for Men. In its fourth edition, the event brought together 13 national teams. This time, the Brazilians, who had already been crowned world champions in Chile-1959, won their second consecutive title.


In 1971, Brazil hosted representatives from 13 countries for the sixth World Basketball Championship for Women. The party was set in the city of São Paulo, in the Ibirapuera stadium. Fifteen thousand people fought for space to see Brazil win the bronze medal. The Soviet Union won gold.


In 1979, Brazil accomplished the first World Championship for Junior Men, in Salvador, Bahia. From August 15th to the 25th, 13 countries battled for the title, which was conquered by the United States of America.


In 1983, the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul held the 9th World Championship for Women. Fourteen teams battle for the title. The Soviet Union won its sixth Championship. Brazil finished fifth.


In 1997, the fourth edition of the World Championship for Junior Women took place in Natal, capital of the northeastern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Norte. Twelve countries competed. The USA won the gold medal and Brazil finished fourth.


All together, Brazil carried out seven World Championships in five decades. These events brought experience for the national officials, apart from renewing and reinforcing the love of Brazilians for basketball. This can be proved by the crowds who packed gymnasiums in several Brazilian cities that have held these competitions.

BARUERI

Barueri is situated in the region metropolitan of the Great São Paulo, to a distance of 26,5 kilometers of the center of São Paulo. With a population of approximately 248 thousand inhabitants, Barueri is top ten cities with bigger population growth of the State of São Paulo.

City without agricultural zone, concentrates all the population in urban zone. Barueri almost has the totality of its paved ways (99,9%). The extension of the water net is of 420 kilometers, enclosing all the area of the city, and the extension of the sewer net is of 270 kilometers. Barueri offers a great environment for new business companies and industries

SÃO PAULO

São Paulo is the fourth biggest city in the world and the biggest in South America. It is the main entrance gate of foreign visitors by airplane in Brazil, totalizing around 1.345.000 arrivals by year.

The business tourism and events put the city as a strategic place in Mercosul, always in direct line with the main world capitals.

The city has 6% of Brazilian population, represent around 9% of the national PIB and has the country's third largest budget.

São Paulo is the biggest national consumer market; which is why it attracts the most important national free market. From the 170 main free markets in the country, 150 of them are in São Paulo.

SEPTEMBER/2006

A obra do Estádio Olímpico João Havelange segue sem muitos avanços significativos nos últimos meses. A única grande mudança é que a Riourbe finalmente começou o fechamento do anel do estádio. Tal ação ainda não era possível pois faltava uma liberação por parte do governo federal do terreno que pertencia a Rede Ferroviária Federal. Agora que tal questão foi sanada, a Rioburne deu início ao fechamento do anel.

A obra do Engenhão está atualmente orçada em R$ 307.985.941,04. O valor, que antes era de cerca de R$ 225 milhões, aumentou por causa do remanejamento de uma adutora da Cedae e outros problemas enfrentados pela Riourbe. A obra foi iniciada em setembro de 2003 e tem previsão de término para fevereiro de 2007.

Atualmente, 1.200 operários trabalham na execução do edifício-garagem com capacidade para 1.380 vagas, na montagem dos pré-moldados de concreto armado, na construção de pilares de sustentação dos arcos da cobertura, na construção da rampa de acesso do setor oeste e do prédio administrativo, além das instalações gerais, redes de água, esgoto e drenagem interna e de ar condicionado, entre outras.

Durante o Pan, o Engenhão irá receber as provas do atletismo e algumas partidas de futebol. A capacidade do estádio será de 45 mil espectadores, podendo ser aumentada para 60 mil caso o Brasil venha a ser a sede da Copa do Mundo de 2014.


MARACANÃ ARENA

SEPTEMBER/2006
http://www.lancenet.com.br/especial/deolhonopan/fotos/maracana02.jpg

Depois de quase dois anos de modificações, o Maracanã está quase concluído. O velho estádio recebeu uma cara toda nova e parece ser mais moderno e adaptado à novas realidades.

Restam apenas as obras do segundo andar e as cabines de rádio e televisão. Além destas modificações, outros detalhes estruturais serão feitos durante os próximos meses. No segundo andar, vários lances já estão com as cadeiras colocadas. Praticamente todos os demais já recebem as estruturas metálicas para colocação dos assentos.

As cabines de rádio e televisão também seguem em ritmo intenso de trabalho. Algumas já estão concluídas. A previsão é que surjam 300 posições para emissoras no estádio, ao final da obra. E o velho Maraca fica com uma carinha bem mais simpática.

Em relação ao Maracanãzinho, o aspecto é preocupante. Ao entrar no ginásio onde o Brasil já conquistou títulos internacionais e várias torcidas, esportivas ou musicais, vibraram intensamente, é inevitável ficar apreensivo. Hoje, o Maracanãzinho está praticamente em ruínas, por causa das muitas modificações para o Pan.

A intenção da Suderj é transformar o local em um ginásio moderno, do mesmo nível das principais arenas esportivas e de espetáculos do planeta. Para isso, foi necessário modificar muita coisa, inclusive na estrutura.

Os operários trabalham duro. Mas, resultado visível, nem tão cedo. Muita coisa ainda está no ferro e as britadeiras são muito comuns. O cheiro é desagradável e só se entra no ginásio protegido por uma máscara.

– Está tudo dentro do cronograma. O Maracanãzinho será entregue ao Co-Rio em Abril – garante Sérgio Emilião, presidente da Suderj.

É aguardar para ver o novo ginásio que vai surgir.

A Cidade dos Esportes era a obra mais atrasada para os Jogos Pan-Americanos. Podemos dizer com segurança que era, pois não é mais. O trabalho em três turnos vem rendendo frutos, que já são visíveis aos que visitam o local.

Ao chegar, um susto. Quem está preparado para ver um local em início de trabalho, assiste aos operários observando detalhes da piscina. A fundação está pronta e o acabamento não deve demorar a ser feito.

O ginásio é outra grata surpresa. As arquibancadas principais estão erguidas, as rampas estão praticamente finalizadas. A cobertura metálica já começa a ser colocada pelos operários. Sem dúvida, é a obra que mais andou nos últimos meses.

Além de um ginásio e um parque aquático, a Cidade dos Esportes também deverá receber um velódromo, que está em fase de licitação. Toda a obra será concluída em abril segundo a Prefeitura.

The Athletics Tracks at Germany were not that bad though. I went to matches in Berlin, Nuremberg and Stuttgart but it wasn't too bad. Those stadiums are still miles away from the pitch.

The Athletics Tracks at Germany were not that bad though. I went to matches in Berlin, Nuremberg and Stuttgart but it wasn't too bad. Those stadiums are still miles away from the pitch.

I barely noticed the tracks in Nuremberg or Stuttgart, but I felt like I was miles away from the pitch in Berlin - and I wasn't that far back in the stands either.

Its becasue Nuremberg was elevated nicely and low to the ground.

impressive, very good images rio 2007, the sport facilities and the Pan-American village were exelentes, I already imagine like it was my city that is headquarters of the Pan-American games of the 2011, Guadalajara, Mexico, I hope soon to open a thread with data of Guadalajara 2011.

tired-looking stadiums that are miles from the pitch - you'd expect better from such a football-mad country.

give 2014 to the aussies. they may well be putting forward cricket grounds but at least they're modern cricket grounds!

You´re joking right??? You are saying the same thing as if Brazil host a Rugby Cup... uhahuahuahua

http://www.worldstadiums.com/stadium_menu/past_future/pictures/future_stadiums/joinville_centro.jpg

Some posts on here sound like they work for fifa. :bash: Fifa would love everything to be the same and boring and predictable. Do you all want a world where all stadia have to conform within a very restricted design and so basically end up all looking the same? All have plastic pitches? All are exactly 7.5m from the pitch etc etc?
Surely football secondary after the actual sport itself is about the different identities of the teams, the clubs, the stadiums, the regions, the countries?
Absolutely the stadia in Brazil need upgrading to be made safe and comfortable but if the style (in brazil) there is to be an athletics track distance from the pitch so be it why not?

In my opinion a 8 stadium 7 city world cup would be ok with FIFA.

why is it that Arena Joinville looks so poor compared to the render, and why doesn't it have seats for the majority of the ground

why is it that Arena Joinville looks so poor compared to the render, and why doesn't it have seats for the majority of the ground

Because it isn't finished. :) The project will go on soon, I think.

yes that´s right... Because Joinville doenst have an expresive team, they dont need to finish all the stadium just now... but they will continue with the construction

Joinville is in the 3rd division of the brazilian league. No need for a better stadium for them yet.

In my opinion a 8 stadium 7 city world cup would be ok with FIFA.



well, Grêmio already announced the construction of a $100 million, 50k spectators stadium similar to the Dragão Stadium from Porto. Amsterdam Arena Advisory company was hired by Grêmio for the construction. Some local company (maybe Gerdau) or some international company (probably ABN Amro Bank, Phillips or WalMart) will finance the stadium and put their name on it.


Stadium is set to be finished in 2010, long before the World Cup 2014.

Since Inter (also from Porto Alegre, just as Grêmio) is already reforming their stadium, and plans to make even more intensive reforms in the future, to fit their stadium to FIFA standarts, Porto Alegre would have TWO stadiums able to host World Cup matches.

lets hope the venues get completed.

Very cool. Rio will make a great place for a games. I hope it gets some good TV time in the U.S. Unfortunatly I don't remember the last few PanAm games getting much coverage here, getting live looks at Rio would be nice. If Chicago doesn't get the Olympic games in 2016 hopefully this will go towards proving that my 2nd choice Rio can:)

Thanks for the update Vinicius!

The Stadium is looking great!

woooww the infrastructure being built in Rio is amazing

Things are coming along nicely. Hopefully we will see some of them completed fairly soon.

Great updates, it looks like Rio is going all out to put on a good games. Where is the location of these complexes in the city (sorry if it has already been told). Is there any PT to the complexes?

awesome ...when do the games start? How long will the aquatic centre still take to complete construction?

^^

From July 13 through July 29. The Aquatic Center will be finished by March.

The Aquatic Center and the Rio Olympic Arena are located in Barra da Tijuca, West Zone of the city. The Olympic Stadium is located in Engenho de Dentro, a suburb of Rio. What is a PT?

thanks for the info, I don't think I saw those parts of the city when i was there (mostly just hung around downtown and usual tourist haunts).

PT is for public transportation.

The Aquatic Center and the Rio Olympic Arena are located in Jacarepaguá, beside the Jacarepaguá's Speedway, not in Barra da Tijuca...

^^

Sorry, my mistake. Thanks.

so what is the schedule for the opening of the João Havelange stadium? It looks to have a great deal of work to get finished in 6 months.The roofing looks like it is fairly behind schedule to be complete by the games. I find it strange they are not using stationary constuctions cranes on the outside in addition to the tracked cranes on the inside. The progress seems very fast as the photos I saw from the engineering company's website in febuary 2006 had the stadium in the very starting stage of construction. Is there a plan to shift workers and equipment from other sites that are completed ahead of the stadium? I am sure trademen from the athletes village could help out bigtime.

jim jones

got a question. this is a render of the speedway complex, but does anyone know what the stadium behind the olympic arena is?

http://www.cob.org.br/pan2007/images/locais/autodromo.jpg

and why didn't they build the joao stadium on the speeday complex?

The stadium will be complete in May. There is no need to shift workers and equipments, because there are people working during all day to complete the stadium on schedule.

This is the old render. The company involved in the construction of the Speedway Complex, give up and the city had to build all the buildings alone. For that reason the project was simplified. These are the new renders:

The stadium was not built in the Speeday Complex, because they want to develop the region that "Engenhão" is located.

Great updates, it looks like Rio is going all out to put on a good games. Where is the location of these complexes in the city (sorry if it has already been told). Is there any PT to the complexes?

Sorry, I didn't answer your question. There are only buses to get to the Speeday Complex and to others places of competion in Barra da Tijuca and Jacarepaguá. To get to the João Havelange Stadium, there are buses and train.

I came back from Rio yesterday after spending three weeks there and I must say that the biggest problem of the city is its urban infraestructure it's terrible, the highways are really old, terribly congested and in a crappy condition, some parts of the city, as Barra da Tijuca have terrible access and although the subway is quite nice, it's really short and has only two lines. Also the international airport is dating back to the 1960's and it seems that it hasn't been renewed since then.
There were some plans for improving city's infraestructure for the games, but as I read in O Globo, they were finally never built.

I came back from Rio yesterday after spending three weeks there and I must say that the biggest problem of the city is its urban infraestructure it's terribles, the highways are really old and terribly congested, some parts of the city, as Barra da Tijuca have terrible access and although the subway is quite nice, it's really short and has only to lines. Also the international airport is dating back to the 1960's and it seems that it han't been renewed since then.
There were some plans for improving city's infraestructure for the games, but as I read in O Globo, they were finally never built.

You are right. Our infraestructure is terrible. Many things were promised to the games, but not given by our goverment. Only one correction: the international airport was inaugurated in 1977 and its second terminal in 1999. It has many problems, but is one of the most modern and the biggest in Brazil.

Mmmm that looks really weird, because according to Wikipedia, it was built in 1950, and with all due respect. I wouldn't call it "modern"

The old terminal was built in the 50's, but the current Terminal 1 was built in 1977 and the Terminal 2 in 1999.

Nice updates Vinicius! :D

^^

Thanks. :)

^^

Thanks. :)

Very good stuff vinicius , thanks so much for the pictures especially with the stadium. . The thing i would ask is why the construction companies dont use the stationary overhead cranes and opt for the big mobile ones?

There seems to be a great deal of pre cast concrete work and having overhead cranes at the ends of the stadium and arenas ouside would probably would speed up material handling and deliever area conflicts on the infield. I know why they would use the mobile cranes on tracks is for capacity for lifting roof steel pieces. but at the same time a work gang could be transferring materials into the stadium without conflicting with the roof work.

I am pulling for Rio to pull things off but with the company tasked to do the arena beside Maracana going out of business and not being replaced for 9 months it is a bit troubling.

I visited rio in 2005 from here in canada and love my brief time in the city.

Strange question I know but are those circular ramps for spectators or cars/vehicles?

Looking awesome Rio!!! Keep up the updates.

Strange question I know but are those circular ramps for spectators or cars/vehicles?

Spectators. That same design was used by Kaufmann Stadium in Kansas City and Dolphin Stadium in Miami.

What will João be used for after the games?

Impressive!

What will João be used for after the games?

João Havelange Stadium (popularly Engenhão), will be used mostly for football games (there was no good 40.000 seater stadium in Rio) and athletics competition. Some football clubs in Rio have already started conversation for using Engenhão after PanAm Games.

Engenhão will probably be inserted into Brazil´s 2014 Fifa World Cup bid. There´s a video in youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEmQNuje_y0 ) with some projects for lowering the pitch, improving to 80,000 seater and making it a exclusive football configuration during the 2014WC. After this, the pitch would be raised again (the athletics track also) and a parking lot would be instaled under the pitch.

Maracanã Stadium is a exclusive football staduim, but it is way too big (95,000). It stays obsolete all over the year.

excellent stuff

Its looking good! :D

Hope it gets done. The process in one month is very good and with 2800 workers on site they certainly have the manpower. The question is if they have enough time. It would be great to see how the other venues are coming. I am sure workers could be used on the main stadium site when they become available from Maracana and the other sites.

good stuff I see progress in the last couple of weeks with the stadium.
The games village looks complete with minor details that can be addressed over the next few months.

Seeing the track sub surface laid down is a sign that the heavy roof structural work is almost finished. Roofing looks to be almost complete over one main grand stand.

Great to see it come together.

thanks for the pictures of the facilities . I know someone is going to great efforts to travel across metro Rio for these pictures I thank you very much as I have a ken interest in this and other places hosting sport festivals. The information is hard to dig up other wise.

Thanks for the comments. :) I hope to bring more pics next monday.

Hey cool I may actually get to see the games via another sport body.

I agree nomarandlee, the service is invaluable and priceless. I am interested in seeing countries like brazil host these events. I am going to Abuja in the very near future and hope to do a similiar photo posting for those like minded a broader scope of Abuja's bid for the commonwealth games.

I'd like to have seen a bit of competition to Brazil's proposal. Just to keep them on their toes.

However, if Brazil do get it, good luck to them. They are football crazy and their people deserve to host a World Cup.

I think it's fair to say that the bar is being set by previous tournaments. Brazil won't want anyone to suggest that South Africa did a better job than them - and as a result I think they'll look to really blow everyone away.

Whilst we are all (rightly) stating that England are in prime position for 2018 as the stadiums are already ready (or have already been planned irrespective of any world cup award) - it's possibly to Brazil's advantage that they don't have any venues ready as it will mean they will be able to create 8-12 venues from scratch.

South Africa are building some magnificent grounds, and I expect the same from Brazil - I just hope they avoid running tracks (I note that most of the new stadiums being built in Venezuela at the moment have tracks).

the new stadiums wont have tracks. Everyone in Brazil want arenas like Amsterdam Arena or the portuguese stadiums (Sporting Lisbon, Benfica and Dragão).

Brazil is on a stadium building curve right now and that is better then this point in te bid fo the 2010 WC for south africa. The new Olympic stadium in Rio has provisions for a raised soccer pitch over their athletics surface. That stadium also has expansion provisions in the plans

the new stadiums wont have tracks. Everyone in Brazil want arenas like Amsterdam Arena or the portuguese stadiums (Sporting Lisbon, Benfica and Dragão).It's not like most of them have tracks, but they do have the tradition of building oval shaped stadiums in Brasil. So they want to go the European way now?

10. Estadio Mangueiroa, Belem-54,000
11. Estadio de Arruda, Recife-66,000

I wanted to include Estadio Castelao (Sao Luis, 75000) in this list, but FIFA regulations only allow for a maximum of 10 host cities.

im brazilian if you dont know.

look, most stadiums in Brazil are OLD. Also, some stadiums have tracks because they are PUBLIC (belong to the state or city) and therefore, building them for other purposes and just football made it easier (I guess) to get the cash to build them.


the fact is that without a World Cup, Brazil would not build new stadiums. We needed the excuse of hosting a World Cup to justify spending billions in stadiums... companies will want their names to appear to the whole world if they put their money on stadiums, and only at a World Cup will the new brazilian stadiums be promoted around the world, and with them, the names of companies.

I wanted to include Estadio Castelao (Sao Luis, 75000) in this list, but FIFA regulations only allow for a maximum of 10 host cities.

12 cities. And the Porto Alegre spot will most likely go to the soon to be built Grêmio Arena, not to Beira Rio. Grêmio will demolish its 1953 stadium and build a new one. Inter just wants to reform its 1970 stadium.

Also, hardly any of these stadiums, maybe exception to Morumbi and Maracanã, will host the World Cup. New stadiums shall be built. Recife has a VERY NICE project.

companies will want their names to appear to the whole world if they put their money on stadiums, and only at a World Cup will the new brazilian stadiums be promoted around the world, and with them, the names of companies.

the fifa dont allow stadiumnames including sponsor names. at the wc in germany all stadiums with a company-name like "allianz"-arena, "aol"-arena, "signal iduna"-park had to renamed in "fifa world cup stadium" during the 4 weeks of the world cup. even on the strees signs!! the fifa dont permit any companys to advertise during the wc. only the main sponsors (paying millions) can advertise :ohno:

btw: novo hamburgo? is that "new hamburg"? never heart about it. is this city based on german settler?
im just interested because hamburg is my hometown. :)

the fifa dont accept stadiumnames including sponsor names. as the wc in germany all stadiums with a company-name like allianz-arena, aol-arena, veltins-arena have to renamed in "fifa world cup stadium" during the 4 weeks of the world cup. even on the strees signs!! the fifa dont like companys which advertise without their supervision and finacial profit. :ohno:


yes, its stupid. But even so, there are thousands of TV specials about the World Cup stadiums and cities before the World Cup, and people end up KNOWING about the real name of the stadiums. I mean... everybody knew the Munich stadium was called ALLIANZ ARENA, even if DURING the world cup, it was called just FIFA WORLD CUP STADIUM.

I wanted to include Estadio Castelao (Sao Luis, 75000) in this list, but FIFA regulations only allow for a maximum of 10 host cities.

Can't remember who it was, but someone quite high up in Brazil stated a couple of months back that NONE of Brazil's existing stadia conformed to FIFA World Cup regulations regarding seating, facilities and/or pitch size, etc. So the above list can go in the bin...

Pity - part of me thinks that when visiting a world cup, supporters should get to experience football the way the locals do... This is one of the reasons I was cheesed off that the German's couldn't use any standing during the finals last year.

thanks very much Ravazzi for the Photos. It looks like progress has been made but time is running out with several venues at the unfinished points of construction . Time management and how thew stadium was put together really have to be questioned. Looking at photos of Abuja National Stadium during the construction phase to me the difference seemed to be the Julius berger the construction company in nigeria used large tower cranes as opposed to large wheeled mobile crane in Rio for this stadium.

I have seen the use of the large tower cranes for other stadiums.

The stadium is looking good but will it be finished on time. Brazils complaints of the domincain republic hosting of 2003 might bite Rio in the ass with the state that construction is at today for rio 2007.

Fantastic looking and the progress on the new stadium is incredible. For the 13 to 19 th they really hauled ass. Maracana looks fantastic as well. The pictures of Maracana are probably the best I have seen the stadium. If they were somehow to have a fabric roof extension on the concrete roof you would be looking at a world cup standard stadium from what I have read.

Two stadiums that are fresh with modern fixtures will go along ways to hosting the world cup and the olympics.

Thank you very much for the pictures I know the trouble that was gone to for these I am do thank you sincerely

Thanks Brazil . a great amount of progress in 5 days . I think it will be a mad dash for manpower to install 45,000 seats in the main stadium, 10000 at both the aquatic centre and the arena. and then the gym next to maracana. Painting crews for the concrete are going to have a big job as well.

End of May mid June is realistic the way things are going.

capacity??

why they didnt got rid of the running track, or the space that used to occupy,,,

looks much better with the roof, but fans are still way to far from the action

still is interesting how soo many brazilian stadiums, have many lower tier seats "hiden" with the upper tier

60 mil!!!!

Please do not put threads about other countries in this section!!!!!!

:| SORRY MAN!!!!!!:D

wrong section

Thing about the Maracanã is that the views are the best one could ever hope for when you're on the upper level. It's when you're on the lower level that it's a problem. Depending on how close you're sitting, you can make of the action that is happening near the goal on the opposite end. The result is that you get that famous scene of the people sitting on the lower level reacting five seconds after a goal is scored. :D

There are some nice looking stadiums above. More details wouldn't go unnoticed, as people will be wondering if some of those stadiums will be built for the 2014 World Cup.

please merge all those "brazilian stadiums" topics, in a "clean" version (without dubble posts), right now they almost look like some kind of spam. I don't know what the idea behind it is (lobbying for WC2014?) but here are some remarks:

1) at least try to use some English, this is an international subforum
2) adjust the size of the images
3) 1 topic, no double posts, some information (follow the example of Mulambo)

Ahhh ... para os amantes de automobismo estive conversando com um engenheiro da prefeitura e ele disse o traçado irá mudar mesmo e não passará mais entre o Maria Lenk e a arena.

Um pouco atrasado o velódromo. Mas vai dar tempo. Tenho certeza. Uma coisa que gostei foi que a rua que dá acesso ao velódromo está sendo toda urbanizada. Vai ficar legal

Bem .. espero ter contribuido.

no problem at all the old saying a picture is worth a thousand words . The main stadium is coming along nicely . With the arena at the speedway looking to be pretty much in the completion stage I would say the focus of attention would probably be the arena at Maracana which looked the furthest behind. Rio is going to have some Olympic standard facilities after construction is complete and that puts Rio is a position that Chicago, Tokyo ,and the other cities wanting to host the 2016 Olympics are not.

The big push to completion will be this month.

Great stuff Rio keep it up and the World Cup 2014 will hopefully lead into the 2016 olympics.

Actually, The Maracana´s Arena was the worst delay, but now is almost finished.. our worries is with a building in the velodrome and the Lake Stadium... The Marina garage for sail boats is already too delayed that will be a temporary construction. Besides that, everything

I really like the imaginitive use of 'roof pods' for the box facilities. I've never seen anything like it before:

http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/4403/beirarioprojetohypestudqa3.jpg

I wonder if they are one-storey or two...

i havent seen many details about these box facilities. I think those are the press cabins?? Or maybe VIP boxes?

well it's an interesting design, you can bet the supporters at the bottom of the first tier won't be able to see much at all though

I like it, looks nice! Still can't understand why they seem to like oval shaped fields for football in South America though?

Very nice stadium, by the looks of things those boxes are double storey, could be double volume :dunno:

Beira Rio just received e pre-indication for hosting WC 2014 games.

For sure Porto Alegre city will host games... it´s a very important city

Why soooo much space between the first stands and the field?

They might as well designed a running track around the field.

Yeah I was reading that list, and the only good stadium there is Kyocera arena. I beleive that Mane Garrincha and Morumbi is going to have to be blow to the ground. Of course we can build new ones, but we just need the world cup. Like Aces said " This will be our excuse to build new stadiums."

thats how all brazilian stadiums were designed in the 20th century. I dont think its possible now to change how it was done. The oval shape was very popular.

south american crowds also, were never well behaved, and keeping them at a distance from the field was also a good way to avoid pitch invaders and bottles hitting the head of some player and giving the club (stadium owner) a huge fine and losing the field mandate for a few matches.

João Havelange will be able to host WC matches. Also, several stadiums, CONFORMING TO FIFA STANDARTS, are planned already.

Woooow that is nice a very nice stadium. The 2014 WC is promising nice things stadiawise.

Nice renders of a terrible, mile away from the pitch, design...
What´s wrong in Brazil, they only like playing football there and not watching it or something.

It's because Brazilian fans are a bit bonkers, you can't have them too close to the opposition players incase they pure malky one of them. Same in Argentina. Hot blooded hispanic types can are very excitable.

Brazil isn't hispanic, u mean latin blood?

:weird:

same thing, call it what you like...they get very excited very easily in those parts of the world.

There´s no relation between violent fans and oval stadiums...
Brazilian stadiums are oval shaped because they were built in a time where there was no TV in Brazil..
Oval stadiums fit more people than box arenas...

Today they lighted the torch in Mexico, by traditional Aztecan Indigeneus:

CABRÁLIA E PORTO SEGURO (BAHIA)
PAÍS REPRESENTADO: BAHAMAS

Cabrália - BA

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k19/cerrado_2006/CDescobrimento20Porto20Seguro20B-2.jpg

Santa Cruz Cabrália is a city located in the Brazilian Northeast region, on the far South of Bahia state, in the so-called Costa do Descobrimento (Coast of the Discovery), the cradle of Brazilian civilization. It was to this bay, which for centuries was called "porto seguro" (safe haven) and is currently named "Cabrália," that the Portuguese tall-ships arrived when Brazil was discovered on April 21st, 1500. Endowed with the best beaches in the region for sports like surf, Santa Cruz Cabrália has a beautiful belvedere, called Mirante da Coroa Vermelha, where visitors can watch the sun rising in the horizon and the full moon. On a hill close by lies the Historical Center of the city, where the highlights include the Church of N. Sra. da Conceição, the old Assembly, the Jailhouse and another belvedere called Rio João de Tiba.

Porto Seguro- BA

Porto Seguro has nearly 130,000 people and almost its entire area is considered a historical patrimony, meaning that the construction of tall buildings (over three stories) is not allowed. The city was founded in 1534.

It shares with Santa Cruz Cabrália the honor of being the arrival point of the first Portuguese in Brazil.

Porto Seguro has an extensive coastline (around 85km) with white, fine-sand beaches and no pollutiopn; the north shore has a world-class infrastructure, while the south shore is reaching this level (north and south shores are divided by the Buranhém river’s mouth, which is 500m wide).

Nice updates tadeu!

Brazil is more than capable of hosting a first rate Pan American Games. Good luck with running a smooth event, and I hope you get the Summer Olympics too.

What are those blue, red, yellow, and green sets of towers? Is it the athlete's village? Nice setting, but possibly the only 2nd rate buildings in the whole lot. The rest is great.
