The costliest 2014 World Cup stadium has a leak in its roof already, not even eight months after it was completed. According to the Brazilian government on December 24, the Mane Garrincha National Stadium, which is located in the city of Brasilia, was leaking a few days earlier when Brazil hosted Chile in a women’s football match. The government now wants the construction company to explain why.

Local press said that just about all of the lower bowl seats were soaked during the game, but the government agency known as Secopa is saying the leaking roof isn’t serious and it won’t affect any World Cup matches next summer.

Secopa said, “Because it is a new, grandiose and complex stadium, some small points are still being corrected and tested but there is nothing that compromises the running of the stadium or the holding of events there.” 

Secopa then added that the construction company that built the venue has guaranteed it for five years and it will have to cover any costs to repair it. The stadium cost over 1.2 billion real in Brazilian money, which is just over half a billion American dollars, and six World Cup games have been scheduled there. These include a quarter-final game and the third-place match.

The stadium was used in 2013 for the Confederations Cup back in June and there have been 17 events held there since. Also the Joao Havelange Stadium in Rio de Janeiro had to be shut down earlier in 2013, just six years after it was constructed for the Pan American Games. That stadium was in danger of having its roof collapse during high winds and it’s going to take 18 months to fix it so the venue can be used in the 2016 Olympic Games.

There are half a dozen 2014 World Cup stadiums that still need to be finished and a minimum of three of these are going to be completed behind schedule. Also, five people have been killed while working on the nation’s 12 World Cup stadiums as of now.
