FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke will begin an inspection visit to Brazil amid a series of concerns about the country’s readiness for the 2014 World Cup, according to AP.
Valcke will visit three host cities less than a week after Brazil’s sports minister said the country needs to speed up the pace of construction on five of the six stadiums that have to be completed by December. Monday’s visit also comes just days after the government said it is concerned with price hikes of hotels listed on FIFA’s website, something that could prompt an investigation into the FIFA-appointed agency in charge of accommodation.
