FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke has reportedly his concern over three of the 12 World Cup stadiums as his final inspection of host cities ended.
With just a few days left before the tournament kicks-off, Valcke, who was on a two-week trip across Brazil for a last check on preparations, reportedly sent warnings to organizers in Natal, Porto Alegre and Sao Paulo, which would host the opening match of the World Cup.
According to Stuff.co.nz, Valcke said that he was pleased with the work that is underway in the other nine host cities, including Curitiba, which had been nearly excluded from the tournament earlier this year because of chronic delays.
The final stop to Valcke's trip was in the northeastern city of Salvador, where the secretary general said that there was no time to waste, but he also praised the local organizers' commitment to make sure that everything would be ready in time.
