Rio 2016 Organizing Committee Pays Pre-Games Inspection Visit To Arena Amazônia

Members of the Rio 2016 organizing committee "paid a technical visit" on Tuesday to the Arena Amazônia in Manaus to inspect and analyze the structure "offered by the city for the Olympic football tournament," according to GLOBO ESPORTE. Rio 2016 members also "exchanged experiences with local professionals" present during Manaus' turn to host the 2014 World Cup. Manaus 2016 Olympic organizing committee Coordinator General Mario Aufiero said, "The visit, so far, has been very positive. There will be some adjustments, but nothing on a large scale that will disrupt the state [of Manaus]." The visit, which ends Thursday, will be comprised of Rio 2016 members checking equipment, "verifying" audio systems, image systems and the "functionality of press-related and nutrition areas, in addition to security operations" (GLOBO ESPORTE, 5/26).
