Estadio Castelão, Ceará, Brazil
With the transfer deadline day in England here is an Footballing Engineering Marvel.
El Castelão was constructed from 1969 to 1973 and was inaugurated on November 11 of that year. However it has since been redeveloped for the 2014 Fifa World Cup - which will be held in Brazil.
The reconstruction project involved the addition of a larger roof, the construction of an underground car park with 4,200 spaces, and a new lower tier. After the redevelopment, the stadium now has an all-seater capacity of 67,037.The stadium closed on March 31, 2011 for the reconstruction project, which was officially completed in December 2012
