SKIDATA Qualifies for the 2014 Soccer World Cup

Salzburg"s Technology Leader Equips the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro

(firmenpresse) - The Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro is one of the largest, most well-known stadiums in the world and the venue for the World Cup final in 2014. SKIDATA, a worldwide leader in access management, is supplying the Maracanã Stadium with the most modern access technology. Located in the Brazilian metropolis of Rio de Janeiro, this sports and concert venue is the location of the upcoming soccer world championship and the Olympic summer games. In addition to the stadium, the Salzburg technology company SKIDATA has provided access technology for cable cars on Rio"s iconic Sugarloaf Mountain. "We are very excited to equip two major projects in Brazil with our products and expertise. Access management at the Maracanã Stadium, the most famous stadium in the world, is especially complex - technologically and organizationally. Here we once again have to prove our expertise," says SKIDATA CEO Huge Rohner.

The Maracanã Stadium Relies on SKIDATA"s Expertise

Opened in 1950, the municipal Maracanã Stadium is currently being renovated and modernized for the upcoming 2014 World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympic Games. The cost of this work will add up to approximately 320 million Euros. The stadium will be the venue for various matches and also the final during the 2014 World Cup.

As in the past, SKIDATA will be part of the upcoming soccer events and will be on-location to ensure trouble-free access for thousands of soccer fans. Since the 2004 UEFA European Championship in Portugal and the 2006 World Cup in Germany, at least 50% of venues for these events have relied on SKIDATA access systems. In addition to the World Cup, the Maracanã Stadium will also be the central Olympic stadium for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games and the 2016 Paralympic Games. SKIDATA will provide this stadium with the newest access technology software and modern hardware equipment. "In the Brazilian stadium market, the brand name SKIDATA is well-known for having the best products. It is for this reason that SKIDATA was chosen for the Maracanã Stadium - the heart of Brazilian soccer," says SKIDATA"s Brazil country manager.
