Fifa concern over delay in Brazil World Cup preparation

Fifa secretary general Jerome Valcke is concerned Brazil has fallen behind schedule with its preparations for the 2014 World Cup and a new stadium in Sao Paolo will not be ready for the 2013 Confederations Cup, seen as a World Cup dress rehearsal.

Airports and transport links are also reportedly behind schedule and the Valcke said,i won't say Brazil started too late but we are not advanced in Brazil and We don't have stadiums, airports, or a national transportation system.
Brazil are the most successful World Cup nation with five victories and the country has been much-criticised for its planning for winning the rights to a host its first tournament since 1950 and to deliver stadiums is the most important part... it's a lot of work and the Sao Paulo stadium is definitely not a World Cup stadium and that is why it is closed, Valcke said.

Valcke was addressing Russian officials in the Moscow who will host the 2018 World Cup tournament and the informed them they should aim to have a everything in the place two years before the start of the event.

Alexei Sorokin, chief executive of Russia's World Cup organising committee, told the forum 2016 deadline was "absolutely realistic," despite having to build or renovate every stadium and We have to build a lot and We have never hid in the fact that we do not have a single stadium that is up to Fifa standards, he admitted.
