I wouldn't go that far, excellent by South American standards, but not world class. The stadium itself is the sort of ground that appears everywhere in Europe. The restaurants and bars will be great, but that doesn't actually add to the stadium itself. Brazil are going to need at least another 7 of these though plus three major venues of 60,000 plus, will they be able to do that?

[skaP187]

yes they will!!!

Its currently around 25,000, and when fully built it will hold 40,000, the required amount for a Libertadores final.

Although I doubt that screen will ever be installed. I dont know of any stadium in brasil that has one

DWeebie, you still at it, I want you to be here in 2010, so you can see what a spectacular event we WILL stage. Then I want you to eat your shit! Because since we started the SA 2010 thread you only had negative things to say about 2010, & you are right , you are intitled to your opinion, but sometimes you take it too far. The way you speak about FIFA, like his your "homey, pal, best friend". FIFA is a freeken organisation thats made up of many people, some may not like the idea of SA hosting 2010, but majority do like the idea, hence they voted for us to host it. So tough luck, FIFA sent a member from Germany 2006 to help us prepare for 2010, he reported back to FIFA stating that we have done ALOT & WE ARE ON TRACK for 2010.

Regarding Brazil, they have the infastructure, they have the weather & the most deff have the supporter's, all thats needed is abit touching up on the stadiums to get them up to date with all the hi tech stuff.

Brazil 2014 World Cup no formality

POSTED: 1946 GMT (0346 HKT), December 6, 2006

ZURICH, Switzerland (Reuters) -- Brazil's staging of the 2014 World Cup is not a foregone conclusion despite a commitment to rotating future tournaments around the continental confederations, FIFA president Sepp Blatter said on Wednesday.

"We have said that the 2014 World Cup will be staged in South America, but if there is no candidate strong enough then we would go north instead as the logical thing," Blatter told a media conference following a two-day meeting of FIFA's executive committee.

"We took the decision to ask South America's 10 associations if they wanted to organize the World Cup and now nine of them have come out in favor of Brazil. But Brazil would still have to undergo the same scrutiny as previous bids.

"The bar has been set very high after the last World Cup (in Germany) and if the only candidate from South America were not to fulfil the requirements then we would go beyond South America."

The 2010 World Cup will take place in South Africa.

Blatter said he was confident that South Africa would be ready to stage the tournament despite concerns over delays in the building of new stadiums.

"We need to bring a little bit of fire (to the organizers)," Blatter said. "But I am confident that everything will be ready on time."

South Africa 2010 chief executive Danny Jordaan said the local organizing committee planned to have five stadiums ready by December 2008 for use at the 2009 Confederations Cup.

He said the remaining five stadiums would be finished by October 2009.

With the exception of Cape Town's stadium, which is involved in a planning dispute, Jordaan said building work was expected to be under way on all sites by the first quarter of 2007.

The executive committee has now finalized the dates for the World Cup finals which will take place between June 11 and July 11, 2010.

It also confirmed that the allocation of World Cup places to the continental confederations would remain the same as for the 2006 World Cup with 13 qualifying places available for European nations and five available to African countries.

Africa will receive an additional sixth place, however, with South Africa receiving an automatic spot as hosts.

Asia and Oceania will again share five qualifying slots while the two American confederations will receive a total of eight places.

has argentina said anything?

[Benjuk]

Argentina originally supported the Brazilian bid, but have recently indicated that they may put in a bid of their own.

I know that Pacaembu (São Paulo) and Vila Belmiro (Santos) have those big screens (obviously they aren't so good as the render's big screen)! But I don't know why they never show the live transmission of the match!

40 thousand is the required amount for World Cup matches (excluding opening and closing games, as well as semi finals and 3rd place match... these require at least 60 thousand of capacity)

Yes, many clubs are unable to pay their lowly paid professional footballers. But Brazil has about 2000 PROFESSIONAL football clubs. The 20 largest clubs in the country DO PAY their professional footballers and pay them well (most players in the first division earn over $30k per month and drive around in bmws and mercedes)


Whats the PROBLEM of investing in new football stadiums?? Brazil built several of them for the 1950 World Cup, including the largest and most modern stadiums in the world back then. And after the 1950 World Cup, several brazilian clubs built BIG modern private stadiums with their own money.




So next time, shut up instead of spewing your bullshit around!

Aces high I agree with you Brazil is hardly in a debt situation and hardly starving . I was in recife, salvador and rio last november and Brazil is fine.
Would not the new athletics stadium for the 2007 pan american games qualify. It is supposed to have the crowd totally covered. Then new stadium you showed is fantastic as well. Then you have Maracana and that was renvoated in 2002 I believe. Brazil certainly doesnt look like it will lose the grand prix of brazil unlike some european countries and formula one is an expensive venture to hold on to. Indianapolis almost lost the uS grand prix with bernie eccelstone eying las vegas.

Considering brazil is not importing oil for energy because of its use of homegrowth ethenol brazil is in great sahpe compared to decades ago .
Argentina would be a country I would be concerned about in saouth america in regards to their finances but not poverty.

Brazil I would love to go back to anytime and feel perfectly safe in .

FACT - FIFA have stated that the world cup should be played in circuits of three - Europe and South America (as the traditional homes of football), then one of the other federations (in 2010 - Africa). Meaning the sequence will be something like...

2010 Africa (South Africa )
2014 South America (Brazil?)
2018 Europe (England or Spain)
2022 Asia/Africa/North America
2026 South America
2030 Europe
Etc.

That said, money obsessed FIFA were talking about going to every two years during the 2002 finals... So who knows what might happen.

weebie occassionally blurts out rubbish. its best to ignore him.
