We still don't know because the project will be presented in the next month. But i know there is a proposal of lower the pitch to aproach the seats. This can increase the capacity (actualy 90.000). A retractable roof can be added to the project too.

I like the selection made by FIFA today. The best projects were selected and Brazil is well represented:

I too, but the new project for the Maracanã will be presented soon. Regarding the Morumbi, I wash my hands. Now the decision is with the FIFA and the LOC.

What a bullcrap.

Wembley and Maracana are together the cathedrals of football. The final should be played in the Maracana. Or else it would be a disapointment to the world and your own history. Dispite all the modern 'state of the art' commercial stadiums, the world still knowns some traditional venue's. One of the 2 old cathedrals is distroyed, be proud that you guy's still have one in the traditional shape.

The stadium will be an all-seater stadium, as it is already, this is a FIFA´S request. It´s capacity will be of 86.000 to 92.000, it still depends of some small adjustments to define the stadium´s final capacity for 2014 WC.

In spite of do not be an official decision, there are no doubts: Maracanã will host the final match.
