Jérôme Balck from FIFA visited the Beira Río stadium in Porto Alegre, which is nearly complete for the 2014 World Cup. The stadium, owned by the local club Internacional, underwent a costly renovation. Balck's visit coincided with a controversy over funding for temporary structures like the press center. The club's president had warned of potential exclusion from the World Cup due to financial issues, but optimism has since grown. President Dilma Rousseff is set to inaugurate the stadium. Brazil still needs to finish four stadiums, with Curitiba facing the most delays. FIFA decided to keep Curitiba as a host city after recent progress. For more details, visit alimmenta.com.
