Brazil's Arena de Baixada at risk of losing World Cup status
The head of the World Cup organising committee in the Brazilian city of Curitiba has told 5live it would be a disaster for FIFA if they stripped it of its status as a World Cup venue.
On a visit last month, FIFA's Secretary-General Jerome Valcke said he had never seen a World Cup stadium so far behind schedule so close to the start of the tournament.
Officials have a deadline of next Tuesday to show that the city will be able to finish the Arena de Baixada in time for the tournament.
In this 90-second summary 5Live's Bruce Douglas spoke to some of the construction staff working on the stadium in Curitiba about whether they believe it will be finished on time.
