Brazil will host England in a friendly match in Rio de Janeiro’s world-famous Maracana stadium, despite safety concerns. The historic stadium had been closed for more than two years to undergo a costly renovation, estimated at $430m. A court order last week suspended the game, saying that Maracana was not ready. But a judge later revoked the suspension, clearing the game to go ahead. Al Jazeera's Gabriel Elizondo reports from Rio de Janeiro. |
