Time is short today, so the weekly stadium spotlight series takes a brief look at a stadium
that has a considerable transformation planned for it.
In May, the twelve host cities for the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil were announced. One of
the winning bids was Fortaleza, the state capital of Ceará in Northeastern Brazil.
Donbass Arena opened on August 29th, 2009, and this week will host its first international and
one of the biggest game's in Ukraine's history: the second-leg of their World Cup 2010 qualifier
playoff against Greece. Ukraine are in great shape to qualify after a 0-0 draw in Athens this
weekend.
The game could be taking place in no more beautiful setting.
