The Morumbi soccer stadium is seen in Sao Paulo July 8, 2010. Time is running out for Sao Paulo if South America's largest city wants to host matches at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, local organising committee president Ricardo Teixeira said on Thursday. Sao Paulo's plans were thrown into confusion last month when the committee and world governing body FIFA dropped the proposed venue, the Morumbi stadium, because the city had failed to provide financial guarantees for the renovation of the arena.
