For the host nation, this may induce a slight sense of panic given that multiple stadia are running behind schedule, meaning they have limited time to conduct test events and ensure security and training procedures are up to scratch.FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke even said at the weekend: "We are working in conditions where the cement is not even dry.
