Posters By Maracana Stadium - Rio

The arena is actually called Estádio Jornalista Mário Filho but is popularly called the Maracana. The arena was originally built for the soccer World Cup in 1950 and originally had room for 180,000 people. The World Cup final between Brazil and Uruguay (1-2) attracted an estimated 210,000 people, but the official record is 199,854. The mighty post will be a memory not least because the national football team played the Olympic final against Germany there.
