2014 FIFA World Cup: which stadiums will host the games

Rio de Janeiro - Maracana

Maracana is the main football arena. This stadium accommodates the largest number of spectators, the final match will take place here - on July 13, the whole world will know the name of the best national team on the planet.

Brasilia - National Stadium

This football arena was built specifically for the 2014 World Cup, after dismantling the Mane Garrinchi stadium, since its capacity did not meet the requirements. On the arena of the National Stadium, among others, you can see a match in which the players will compete for the third place.

Sao Paulo - Arena Corinthians

The original plan assumed that the stadium would be able to accommodate 48,000 fans, but this did not meet FIFA requirements, so they decided to increase the number of seats. Additional renovation has meant that the opening match will be played without a roof.

Belo Horizonte - Mineiran

This stadium is the home arena for the great Brazilian clubs Cruzeiro and Atletico Mineiro. It is considered one of the most beautiful in Brazil; in the Mineiran arena, you can see various fights, including the semifinal.

Fortaleza - Castellan

This arena was built back in 1973, has gone through more than one reconstruction, and is now fully ready to host the 2014 World Cup.

Salvador - Fonte Nova

The first stadium in Salvador was built in 1951, but for several decades several fans died on it for various reasons, which brought the football arena into disrepute. The stadium was demolished so that Fonte Nova could be erected in its place for the 2014 World Cup.

Porto Alegre - Beira Rio

This is the home arena for the Brazilian club Internacional. The stadium was built in 1969. The official name is Jose Pinheiro Borda Stadium after the Brazilian architect who dreamed of building a grand arena, but did not live to see its official opening.

Recife - Arena Pernambuco

This stadium was built from scratch and took three years to build. The facade of the football arena can change its color due to LED panels.

Cuiaba - Arena Pantanal

The cleanest and safest arena for the environment, since wood and other environmentally friendly materials were used for its construction.

Manaus - Amazonia

From an economic point of view, it is not the most successful stadium, since after the 2014 World Cup it will not be used, which means that the costs of its construction are unlikely to pay off. But during the championship, fans will be able to appreciate it, enjoying the games of their favorite teams.

Natal - Arena das Dunas

This stadium is made of demountable structures, therefore, after the completion of the 2014 World Cup, it will be reconstructed, reducing its capacity and reducing maintenance costs.

Curitiba - Arena Baixada

It is believed that this stadium was chosen for the matches because of the 100th anniversary, which it will celebrate this year. A great gift for the stadium and fans.
