As the 2014 World Cup in Brazil approaches, concerns about the readiness of stadiums persist. FIFA officials express pessimism about the completion of some sites, with FIFA’s secretary general, Jérôme Valcke, stating that Curitiba is in an “emergency situation” and might be excluded from the tournament. President Dilma Rousseff reassures everyone, stating she is “sure” that the Curitiba stadium will be ready on time. The original deadline for stadium delivery was December 31, and FIFA had requested six months for testing before the World Cup. However, delays and construction accidents have raised doubts about the readiness and safety of the venues. The World Cup is scheduled to start on June 12, leaving less than six months to address these concerns.
