And we will use the same model, we will adopt the pitch model for several of our stadia. At least, the three other big ones. We are looking at between now and March we should have four big stadia, foot scoreboard, FIFA scoreboard, And I think given time, within a year this country should be ready to host virtually any FIFA soccer tournaments.”
