I'm sure the authorities will say that the slum dwellers/locals will have full use of the facilities at the stadium once the world cup is over.

they could have spent a few quid on the slums across the road from the stadium

footballers on £300,000 a week and young children sleeping in gutters what a world we live in mind boggling !!

Very true. The Brazilian authorities might be taking Matthew 26:11 as their watchword. "The poor you have with you always."

It's quite abhorrent these 2 extremes of the "haves & have nots". If only the governing powers got their priorities right.

aog when the world cup is being played the footballers that are playing will still be on the high wages plus what they get for playing for their country
