The MaracanÃÆ'Â £ (Portuguese: EstÃÆ'¡dio do MaracanÃÆ'Â £ , standard Brazilian Portuguese: [es'tad? iu du ma? ak? 'n ??] , local pronunciation: < span title = "Representation in International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)"> [i? 'Tad? U du m ?? ak?' N ??] ), officially EstÃÆ'¡dio Jornalista MÃÆ'¡ rio Filho ( IPA: Ã, [i? 'tad? (i) u? o? na'li? t? 'ma? iu' fi? u] ), is a football stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The stadium is part of a complex that includes an arena known as MaracanÃÆ' Â £ zinho , which means "The Little MaracanÃÆ'Â £" in Portuguese. Owned by the state government of Rio de Janeiro, it is, like the neighborhood of MaracanÃÆ'Â £ where it resides, named after Rio MaracanÃÆ'Â £, the river is now unaltered in Rio de Janeiro.
The stadium opened in 1950 to host the FIFA World Cup, where Brazil was beaten 2-1 by Uruguay in a decisive match, ahead of no less than 199,854 spectators on July 16, 1950. The venue has witnessed the presence of 150,000 or more on 26 occasions, the last on May 29, 1983, when 155,253 spectators watched Flamengo beat Santos 3-0. At least no less than 284 times have 100,000 spectators or more watching football here. But since the patio has been replaced with seats from time to time, and after a total renovation of more or less for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, its original capacity has been reduced to 78,838 today.
The stadium is mainly used for football matches between major football clubs in Rio de Janeiro, including Flamengo, Fluminense, Botafogo, and Vasco da Gama. It also hosts a number of concerts and other sporting events.
The total attendance of the last game (and the decisive but not final) 1950 FIFA World Cup is 199,854 , making it the largest stadium in the world by capacity (when it was unveiled). After the 2010-13 renovation, the stadium was rebuilt today seats 78,838 spectators, making it the largest stadium in Brazil and the second in South America after Estadio Monumental in Peru. It is the main venue of the 2007 Pan American Games, hosting a football tournament and opening and closing ceremonies.

Name
The official name of the stadium, MÃÆ'¡rio Filho, was given in honor of an old reporter Pernambucan, brother of Nelson Rodrigues, who is a strong supporter of vocal development of MaracanÃÆ'Â £.
The popular name of the stadium comes from the Maracan River, whose origin is in the forest-covered hills to the west, across the various bairros of the Rio Norte Zone, such as Tijuca and Sà <â € <â € • CristÃÆ'³vÃÆ' £ o, through a drainage canal that has sloping sides constructed of concrete. After flowing to Canal do Mangue , it boils down to Guanabara Bay. The name " MaracanÃÆ' £ " is derived from the original Tupi-Guarani word for a kind of parrot that inhabits the area. The construction of the stadium was before the formation of the Maracanà lingkungan neighborhood, which was once part of Tijuca.
Red Star Belgrade Stadium, Red Star Stadium, popularly called Marakana in honor of Brazil's stadium.

History
Construction
Having won the right to host the 1950 FIFA World Cup, the Brazilian government is trying to build a new stadium for the tournament. Maracan's development was criticized by Carlos Lacerda, then a member of Congress and the political enemy of the city's mayor, General ÃÆ'â € Å¡ngelo Mendes de Morais, for the cost and location of the chosen stadium, arguing that it should be built in the West Zone neighborhood of JacarepaguÃÆ'¡. At that time, the tennis stadium stands in the selected area. It is still supported by journalist MÃÆ'¡rio Filho, and Mendes de Morais is able to move the project forward. The competition for design and construction was opened by the municipality of Rio de Janeiro in 1947, with a construction contract awarded to Humberto Menescal engineers, and architectural contracts were awarded to seven Brazilian architects, Michael Feldman, Waldir Ramos, Raphael GalvÃÆ'Â o o Oscar Valdetaro, Orlando Azevedo , Pedro Paulo Bernardes Bastos, and AntÃÆ'Â'nio Dias Carneiro.
The first platform was put on the site of the stadium on August 2, 1948. With the first World Cup match scheduled to be played on 24 June 1950, it left slightly under two years to complete the construction. However, working quickly behind schedule, prompting FIFA to send Dr. Ottorino Barassi, the head of the Italian FA, who had arranged the 1934 World Cup, to help in Rio de Janeiro. A 1,500 labor force built the stadium, with an additional 2,000 working in the last months. Although the stadium began to be used in 1950, its construction was only completed in 1965.
Opening and 1950 FIFA World Cup
The opening match of the stadium took place on June 16, 1950. The Rio de Janeiro All-Stars defeated SÃÆ' â € <â € <â € <â € <â € <â € <â € <â € <â € <â € <â € <â € <â € In the first game that MaracanÃÆ'Â £ had built, Brazil defeated Mexico with a final score of 4-0, with Ademir being the first goalscorer of a competitive goal at the stadium with a 30-minute strike. Ademir has two goals, plus each from Baltasar and Jair. The match was directed by England's George Reader. Five of Brazil's six matches in the tournament were played at MaracanÃÆ'Â £ (the exception being their 2-2 draw with Switzerland at SÃÆ'Â £ Paulo). Finally, Brazil advanced to the finals, facing Uruguay in a match (part of the final round-robin phase) which turned out to be a tournament fixture on July 16, 1950. Brazil needed only a draw to finish as champions but Uruguay won 2-1, shocking and silencing the large crowd. This defeat on home soil instantly became an important event in Brazilian history, popularly known as Maracanazo. The official attendance of the last match is 199.854, with an actual presence estimated at around 210,000. In any case, it is the biggest crowd ever to see a football game - a record that is highly unlikely to be threatened in an era when most international matches are played in stadiums all seats. At the time of the World Cup, the stadium was largely a stand-in without individual seats. Completion of the stadium and post-World Cup of the year
Since the 1950 World Cup, MaracanÃÆ'Â £ Stadium is mainly used for club games involving four major football clubs in Rio - Vasco, Botafogo, Flamengo and Fluminense. The stadium also hosts a number of domestic cup finals, notably Copa do Brasil and Campeonato Carioca. On 21 March 1954, a new official attendance record was set in a match between Brazil and Paraguay, after 183,513 spectators entered the stadium with tickets and 194,603 (177,656 p.) In Fla-Flu (1963). In 1963, the stadium authority replaced the square with a round square, but it was still two years before the stadium would be fully completed. In 1965, 17 years after construction began, the stadium was finally completed. In September 1966, following the death of MÃÆ'¡rio Rodrigues Filho, Brazilian journalist, columnist, sporting figure, and prominent campaigner responsible for the originally built stadium, the stadium administrators named the stadium afterwards: EstÃÆ'¡dio Jornalista MÃÆ'¡ rio Rodrigues Filho . However, the nickname MaracanÃÆ'Â £ continues to be used as a general referral. In 1969, PelÃÆ' Â © scored his 1000th goal in his career at MaracanÃÆ'Â £, against CR Vasco da Gama in front of 65,157 spectators.
In 1989 the stadium hosted the final match of the Copa America; in the same year, Zico scored his last goal for Flamengo in Maracanà £, scoring his goal at the stadium until 333, a record that still survives until 2011. Top positions in the stadium collapsed on July 19, 1992, in the second game of the 1992 final Campeonato Brasileiro Sà © Å © rie A, between Botafogo and Flamengo, killing three spectators and injuring 50 others. After the disaster, the stadium's capacity is greatly reduced as it is converted to the stadium all seating in the late 1990s. Nonetheless, the land was classified as a national landmark in 1998, which means that it can not be destroyed. The stadium hosts the final FIFA Club World Cup final between CR Vasco da Gama and Corinthians Paulista, which Corinthians won through on penalties.
The 21st century, renovations and the 2014 FIFA World Cup
After the 50th anniversary in 2000, the stadium underwent a renovation that will increase its full capacity to around 103,000. After years of planning and nine months of closure between 2005 and 2006, the stadium reopened in January 2007 with a full capacity of 87,000.
For the 2014 and 2014 Summer Olympics and the Paralympics, a major reconstruction project began in 2010. The original seating bowl, in a two-tiered configuration, was destroyed, giving way to a new one-level seating bowl. The original stadium roof in the concrete has been removed and replaced with a fiberglass membrane coated with polytetra-fluoroethylene. The new roof covers 95% of the seats inside the stadium, unlike previous designs, where protection is only provided for some seats in the upper ring and benches above the gate access of each sector. The old boxes, mounted at levels above the stands for the FIFA Club World Cup 2000, were dismantled in the reconstruction process. The new chairs are yellow, blue and white, combined with green field matches, forming the national colors of Brazil. In addition, the grayish tone has returned as the main façade color of the stadium.
On May 30, 2013, a friendly match between Brazil and England scheduled for 2 June was canceled by local judges due to stadium-related security issues. The Rio de Janeiro government appealed the decision and the game went according to the original plan, the final score being a 2-2 draw. This match marks the reopening of the new MaracanÃ..
On 12 June 2014, the 2014 FIFA World Cup opened with Brazil defeating Croatia 3-1, but the match was held at SÃÆ' Â £ o Paulo. The first World Cup match to be held at MaracanÃÆ'Â £ is a 2-1 victory by Argentina over Bosnia-Herzegovina on Sunday, June 15, 2014. The Brazilian host has finally never played a match at MaracanÃÆ'Â £ during the tournament, as they failed to reach the final after being eliminated in the semi-finals 7-1 by Germany. In the final, Germany beat Argentina 1-0 in extra time.
Damage
The stadium is abandoned in the months after the 2016 and Paralympic Games, with photographs appearing in early 2017 from a dry playground covered with brown spots and lost grass, torn seats, and damage to windows and doors. Debts of R $ 3 million ($ 939,937 USD) to local energy companies caused electricity to be shut down in MaracanÃÆ'Â £. The essence of the matter is a legal dispute between stadium owners, operators and organizers for the Rio Olympics on responsibility for maintaining the grounds. MaracanÃÆ'Â £ SA, operator, alleges that the Olympic committee did not return the venue in acceptable conditions, while organizers said things they needed to improve should not make MaracanÃÆ'Â Â operate.
Within six months of the game, the stadium's daily tour was suspended due to vandalism at the stadium and violent robbery in the area. Value items have been looted from the stadium including fire extinguishers, television and bronze statues from journalist MÃÆ'¡rio Filho, for whom the stadium was named.
New Manager
On April 5, 2017, the French group LagardÃÆ'¨re signed an agreement to manage MaracanÃÆ'Â £. In total, LagardÃÆ'¨re will invest more than R $ 500 million at the end of the concession, won by Odebrecht in 2013 and valid until 2048. The newspaper Folha de SÃÆ'Â o o Paulo informs that the group estimates that it will need to spend around R $ 15 million for emergency reform at the stadium. In 2013, the former Odebrecht manager along with AEG and IMX, a company owned by Brazilian billionaire Eike Batista, won an offer to manage the stadium for 35 years. The company is linked to the Brazilian building company OAS and the Amsterdam Arena. At that time, LagardÃÆ'¨re was in second place in the offer.
