Brazilian Sports Minister Aldo Rebelo has said he is worried about delays at five stadiums still being built for next year’s football World Cup.
Mr Rebelo said the pace of construction must be accelerated if the venues are to be ready by this December.
Brazil has seen two months of protests against corruption and overspending in the preparation for the World Cup and the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
Only one of the six stadiums under construction is on schedule.
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.
