The football institution says it is "very concerned" about the situation at the Sao Paulo venue, which should not be available before December 2013. In a press release, FIFA assured that it would not accept any compromise regarding the deadline, set at the end of 2013, for delivery of all the World Cup stadiums. Six of them will not be used for the next Confederations Cup, scheduled for June 15-30 in Brazil: Sao Paulo, Manaus, Cuiaba, Natal, Porto Alegre and Curitiba. According to the national press, the 48 seats at the Sao Paulo venue should be ready on time, but not the 000 temporary seats added for the 20 World Cup.
