SAO PAULO (AP) ― The Brazilian government’s World Cup ambassador Pele says he’s concerned about the country’s outdated airports less than 10 weeks before the tournament begins.
Brazil’s greatest football star says it’s worrisome how the country is handling all the visitors for the World Cup in June and July.
Pele said at a Monday event in Sao Paulo that authorities “are still building” the airports as the event approaches.
His comments come after infrastructure experts told The Associated Press that improvements at the country’s airports will not be ready for the World Cup.
Government numbers show that work is finished at only two of the 13 major airports that will be used in the tournament, but officials insist everything needed for the World Cup will be ready in time.
