Brazil is commemorating
the 100-day mark to the World Cup by lighting up tourist attractions with the
green and yellow colours of the national flag.Some monuments, bridges, theatres
and World Cup stadiums were lit up across the country on Tuesday to celebrate
the milestone.
Among the stadiums
illuminated with the national colours were the Mineirao in Belo Horizonte and
the Maracana, which will host the final of football’s showcase event in Rio de
Janeiro on July 13.The World Cup begins on June 12 with Brazil playing Croatia
in Sao Paulo.With the tournament approaching fast, local organizers continue to
struggle to get venues and infrastructure work completed. Four of the 12
stadiums aren’t finalized, and two may be ready less than a month before the
opener.
