Organizers of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil say Sao Paulo will remain a host city even though Morumbi Stadium has been dropped because of financial issues.
World Cup organizers and the FIFA said they will work with South America’s biggest city to find an alternative even though the deadline for stadium projects has passed.
The president of the Brazilian soccer confederation says it’s “inadmissible to have a World Cup in Brazil without the presence of Sao Paulo.”
Ricardo Teixeira told Globo TV he had “absolute certainty that the city and its authorities will put Sao Paulo back in” the organizers plans.
FIFA and the Brazilian World Cup organizers dropped Morumbi last Wednesday because the city Sao Paulo failed to provide financial guarantees for its renovation
