Three workers have been confirmed dead after part of the stadium that is due to host the opening game of the 2014 World Cup in Sao Paulo, Brazil collapsed.

The stadium, which was scheduled to be finished in the next month or so, is to be the site of the opening game and five other matches when Brazil hosts the 2014 World Cup in June and July.

A spokeswoman for the Sao Paulo state military police confirmed the deaths.

The stadium was due to come in on budget at around £355million, and was seen as one of the key show pieces of the World Cup.

Corinthians, the club who own the stadium, and building company Odebrecht SA, have both refused to comment.



The Sao Paulo stadium, formally called Arena Corinthians but known locally as 'Itaquerao', is being built by Brazilian industrial conglomerate Odebrecht SA, which recently said the arena was 94 per cent complete.

Photos taken by local media appeared to show significant damage caused by the fallen crane to the outside of the stadium. It was not immediately clear if the damage could pose a major delay to opening the stadium.
