A seventh construction worker has died in an industrial accident at a World Cup football site in Brazil.

The worker died at the weekend after an eight metre fall in Sao Paulo's stadium which will be used for the tournament's opening match between Brazil and Croatia on June the 12th.

Three workers have now been killed during the reconstruction of Corinthians stadium in Sao Paulo.

Brazilian organisers are under pressure to have the stadium ready on time, and FIFA has already extended the deadline once for Sao Paulo.
