Maracanã Stadium, which held the opening and closing ceremonies,
and several of the Rio Olympics' biggest events,
is reportedly abandoned and plagued by looters.
The Olympic Stadium in Rio is a GHOST town.
The Maracanã Stadium opened in 1950,
to host the FIFA World Cup.
and went through costly maintenance,
for the 2014 World Cup?!
and the 2016 Olympic Games.
But since then, The Stadium has been abandoned?!
The lights were turned off to save money.
The turf on the field has dried, and full of holes.
"the smell of the mold is noticeable",
Carolina Oliveira Castro, O GLOBO
Looters have also plagued the empty Stadium,
stealing copper wire, and ceiling walls,
along with television and fire extinguishers.
The city's football federation has called
for "URGENT ACTION" ?!
And has reached out to the 4 local football clubs,
to help manage the Stadium !
