FIFA 2014 Flagship Stadium

Brazils flagship Fielzao Stadium will be host to the FIFA 2014 Soccer World Cup opening ceremony. The stadium, located in Sao Paulo, will cater for 68000 seats.

There have been doubts on whether or not the stadium will be complete in time. But as a South African I can asure you that this rumor was probably started by the media themselves. We were also critisized for delays in our stadia in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but against all that was said, we came out triumphant.

Fielzao is a brand new stadium and apart from being the host to the opening ceremony it will also serve as home grounds to the Corinthians sports club.

In this picture we see the progess that has been made on the stadium thus far. It does seem that there is still a lot to do, but I believe that it will be ready before the deadline. Thanks to @Gabrieltvr on Twitter for the pic ;)
