SAO PAULO : Brazil is running out of time. World Cup organizers will mark 100 days to go on Tuesday with a lot of work still to be done on stadiums and infrastructure in the 12 host cities.
As national teams enter their final phase of preparations -- a series of warm-ups are scheduled this week
the Brazilian government is trying to ensure the country will be prepared to receive the
players and visitors who will arrive for the tournament in a few months.
There are four stadiums still under construction, and work outside many of the venues is far from over. Doubts also remain about whether the cities will be able to host the fanfests required by FIFA.
