Apparently, the Brazilians have never of Return on Investment heard. Whether this development should be in the line of expectation.

Even for the football world cup 2014 in Brazil was organized, was the criticism both inside and outside the South American country is not of the air. A lot of people live there, after all, crowded together in slums, but the government struck a huge amount to the organisation of the event.

A large part of that money was spent on the (far)build(ing) of huge stadiums. The most expensive complex, the Estádio Nacional Mané Garrincha, is to verpieteren in the capital, Brasilia. This structure, with 70,000 seats cost around $ 900 million to build. After the world cup is the stadium basically is used only for the buses to park.

That’s just one of the many examples, because there are plenty of other stadiums in Brazil road to languish because on the matches of local teams simply to few people here. Those pots are so much smaller stadiums played. Fortunately, with the upcoming Olympic Games of 2016 will be a great event for the Brazilians, but that the sports tournament will be available only in Rio to be finished.

As it turns out, but again: football is more broken than you love.
