A labourer works on the renovations of the Maracana Stad ium for the 2014 World Cup in Rio de Janeiro October 30, 2012. When Brazil won the right to host the 2014 World Cup, officials vowed it would be the best and most transparent tournament ever and that hardly a cent of taxpayer money would be spent on stadiums and infrastructure. Today, with the opening match less than two years away, those claims look shaky. Organizers have set up Web sites where the public can monitor construction work and cash outlays, an exercise in transparency that officials say is new in Brazil. But critics say the information is often contradictory or out of date. The cost of stadiums and public transport projects has spiraled and authorities have yet to disclose the budget for key sectors such as telecommunications and policing.
