BERNE (Reuters) - An unpaved area of 140,000 square metres around the Porto Alegre stadium is among FIFA's biggest headaches with three months to go until the World Cup in Brazil, secretary general Jerome Valcke said on Thursday.

"The biggest challenge is to have all these temporary facilities, which are subject to a lot of discussion in Brazil, in place," Valcke said in a FIFA video.
