It was reported by Associated Press that the he construction team will not be able to finish the stadium roof in time for the start of the tournament this summer. This will be adding pressure to the organisers who on Thursday has the protest across the country to contend with.
The labour issue and untimely schedule of construction have been adduced to the incompletion of the project.
From the Associated Press:
“Construction company Odebrecht confirmed Friday that a part of the roof at the Itaquerao will only be completed after the World Cup.
There was not enough time to install the glass covers that were supposed to be added to the sides of the stadium’s roofing structure, so Odebrecht and local organizers decided to postpone the work until after the tournament.
Odebrecht said the missing covers will not affect fans watching matches in the stadium.”
