Iconic 72,000-seater World Cup stadium abandoned with car park now a BUS DEPOT

A World Cup stadium has been left abandoned… with the car park now turned into a bus depot.

The Mane Garrincha, which holds 72,000 fans, held seven games in the 2014 tournament in Brazil nine years ago.

They included Brazil’s group-stage win over Cameroon and third-place play-off defeat to the Netherlands, as well as Argentina’s quarter-final victory over Belgium.

The hosts were eliminated by eventual winners Germany after being humiliated 7-1 in the semi-finals.

But nowadays it hosts very few football games, with the venue instead being used for random events such as tattoo festivals and Japanese food expos.
