can in the form of equipment and other infrastructure to help raise the standard of football in a host country. For Alan, providing this equipment is a chance for each site to raise their own standards and keep them at a consistent level, but he recognises the challenges they face when it comes to budgets for maintenance.


Whilst training the local staff is the preferred option, sometimes it just isn’t possible. At the training sites, contractors were needed to drastically improve the quality. Many of them were well below the

required standard when the first inspections were carried out, and urgent action was taken to renovate the pitches. “With a period of only six weeks available to the team between starting the renovations and playing the first game, it was felt best to use four local contractors,” Alan explained. “Whilst World Sports, one the best known in Brazil, was given the task of renovating three of the four stadia, other companies Campaneli (training sites in Vitoria) Enarpie (Kleber Andrade) and Green Leaf (training sites in Goiania and Brasilia)


were tasked with delivering the renovations and maintenance.”


“The contracts were issued in two parts. The first part was focusing on the renovation and the second part on the tournament delivery. All the contractors met with the FIFA pitch team during the week of the workshops to agree on what could realistically be achieved in the time available. Once agreed, the contracts were issued against the quotes received, with a rate card agreed to bring uniformity to the costs.”
