Porto Alegre may pull out of hosting matches during the 2014 Brazil World Cup if important legislation isn't passed this week according to the city's mayor.
Jose Fortunati, during an interview with a local radio station, said "there was no plan b" when it came to securing extra funding.
Unlike other cities, the stadium in Porto Alegre, which is due to host five matches, is close to completion. The problem lies in delays in building temporary structures which are required for the media and sponsors among other things.
The stadium exterior needs completing but Fortunati says he is concerned about ensuring everything else that is needed is provided.
"If the project is not voted on, we won't have the World Cup in Porto Alegre. There's no Plan B, nor C nor Z," he warned.
