This Is What R38 Billion Worth Of Stadiums Look Like

The construction and renovation of 12 soccer stadiums for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, while plagued by cost overruns and legacy concerns, are beautiful to look at.

With every World Cup, comes a controversy surrounding the building of stadiums.

The $3.6 billion (around R38 billion) used on building the 12 stadiums has raised some concerns, but just like in SA, there’s no denying that the football grounds are as striking and impressive as ever.
