Brazil v England friendly to go ahead despite safety concerns

May 31st, 2013 11:08

England's friendly with Brazil is set to go ahead on Sunday after Rio de Janiero authorities reversed a judge's early decision not to award a safety certificate to the match venue, the famous Maracana stadium. Rio judge, Adriana Costa dos Santos, had ruled that the match could not proceed but the state government overruled that judgement and issued a statement confirming that the game could go ahead on 2 June as all safety conditions had been met. The controversy follows repeated FIFA complaints for more than a year that Brazil is not ready to host the World Cup. You can buy your Confederations Cup tickets now! Spain v Uruguay tickets and Brazil v Mexico tickets are available securely online.

Brazil not yet ready for World Cup

Jerome Valcke, FIFA Secretary General, has been in Brazil this month to check on the venues scheduled to host the World Cup. He acknowledged that work would certainly not be finished in time for the Confederations Cup and warned that this situation would not be tolerated for the World Cup. Newspaper reports in Brazil have suggested that the Brazilian football authorities could be fined as much as one million US dollars for allowing the England match to go ahead without the right safety certificates being in place.

    Bought 2 Club Wembley tickets less than 48 hours before the Championship Play Off Final. Good communication and tickets arrived the following day by email. No problems getting into the stadium and seats were great. Unfortunately my team’s performance was the only let down. Would definitely use this company again.

    It was easier than I thought to find a group of seven seats together and very simple to book. Communication was excellent, the tickets were sent quickly and were easy to access, so no problems at the stadium. Seats were good and we had a great view. Everything worked well and I'll definitely be back for tickets again - many thanks!

    I flew all the way from Australia to watch Arsenal vs Burnley. They have amazing customer service. They answered and replied to all my inquiries within a few minutes. I received the ticket on time, and the instructions and support were excellent. It was my first experience, and I will definitely use their service again in the future.

    Purchased 2 tickets for the Europa League Final - Freiburg vs Aston Villa. Tickets were in the neutral side. Great view and tickets were delivered on time electronically via the UEFA tickets app. I could assign my name to them. These guys are 100% legitimate and their communication is brilliant. Would definitely use again.
