[color=#0000FF]The Arena da Amazonia, in Manaus, is one of the major concerns, with nearly two-thirds of the work still to be done[/color]
[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Mr Rebelo said the pace of construction must be accelerated if the venues are to be ready by this December.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][url=http://www.enread.com/news/sports/93712.html]Brazil[/url] has seen two months of protests against corruption and overspending in the preparation for the World Cup and the 2016 Olympics in Rio.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Only one of the six stadiums under construction is on schedule.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The opening match venue in Sao Paulo is 84% built and is expected to be ready by the end of the year, as demanded by the World Cup organisers, Fifa.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][b]'No budget increase'[/b][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]There are bigger concerns over the pace of work at the arenas being built in Manaus, Curitiba, Cuiaba, Porto Alegre and Natal, which are from 71% to 79% ready.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"This must be seen as a warning. We cannot keep on the same rhythm, or we will not deliver them on time," said Mr Rebelo.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"It is possible to intensify. We are able to meet the deadlines, but it should be noted that it will require us to speed up the construction." [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]He warned that no extra [url=http://www.enread.com/news/sports/93712.html]government[/url] funds would be given to construction companies to have the work finished on time.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"There will be no budget increase, because, for example, instead of paying 10 workers during two months, you can pay 20 to work for 30 days," Mr Rebelo explained.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The World Cup will be played in 12 stadiums across the country. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The opening match is due to take place at a brand-new venue being built in the outskirts of Sao Paulo on 12 June. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The final is scheduled for the 13 July in country's most famous football stadium, the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Six of the World Cup venues were put to test in June during the Confederations Cup, won by Brazil with a 3-0 victory over world champions Spain in the final.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Fifa has previously said that the World Cup will go ahead in Brazil as planned.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"The first game will happen in Sao Paulo, the final will be in Rio. There is no plan B," said [url=http://www.enread.com/news/sports/93712.html]Fifa[/url] general-secretary Jeremy Valcke during the Confederations Cup.[/size][/font]
