Stadium roof not ready for World Cup opener

The roof of the stadium hosting the World Cup opener in a few weeks will not be fully finished in time for the tournament, constructors have hinted.
Construction company, Odebrecht, confirmed that a part of the roof at the Itaquerao would 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 stadium’s roofing structure, so Odebrecht and local organisers decided to postpone the work until after the tournament.
Odebrecht said the missing covers would not affect fans watching matches in the stadium, although it appeared from photos that more people would be covered from rain if they were in place.
Also, the company in charge of 20,000 temporary seats needed for the opener said it successfully addressed all health and safety issues that had prompted prosecutors to threaten to halt work at the venue.
Odebrecht said in an email: “The glass covers will only be installed after the World Cup” because “transparency studies” were still being finalised to make sure the covers could allow the passage of the proper amount of light needed to “preserve the pitch in good conditions”.
