The Rio de Janeiro government has chosen the color of the seats for the Maracana stadium, according to Felippe Costa of GLOBOESPORTE. The stadium that will host the 2014 World Cup final will have blue, white and yellow seats. With the green grass "this means that the colors of the Brazilian flag will be represented in the stadium." Rio Governor Sergio Cabral said, "It was very beautiful, because it mixes the colors of Brazil and Rio de Janeiro" (GLOBOESPORTE, 6/15).
