Another setback in Brazil’s preparations for the Confederations Cup occurred last night as part of the Arena Fonte Nova’s roof collapsed, although no injuries have been reported.
A section of the roof at the Arena Fonte Nova has collapsed due to heavy rain on Monday night after rainwater gathered on part of the structure.
However, there are thought to be no injuries in the incident and authorities have moved to secure the situation.
“Repair work has already started and will be concluded in time for the Confederations Cup,” Fonte Nova Participacoes said in a statement.
“It’s an isolated incident. This situation would have never happened during an event because the arena is thoroughly inspected ahead of time.”
“FIFA and LOC have been informed that repair work is already underway,” the local World Cup organising committee said in a statement.
