SAO PAULO — One of six Brazilian World Cup stadiums that had to be completed before the end of 2013 was symbolically delivered on New Year's Eve, although it won't be fully ready until the end of the month. Local World Cup organizers in the northeastern city of Natal lighted up the Arena das Dunas Stadium for the first time Tuesday to symbolize the venue's completion. However, officials admit that work will continue until the official inauguration on Jan. 20. Brazil starts the year without six of the 12 World Cup stadiums ready even though FIFA had set the end of 2013 as the final deadline. Six venues had been made ready for the Confederations Cup. — AP
