This is an organizational structure of the Maracanã. Arrows indicate the different places (or spaces) within (and without) the stadium that the block impacts. It is implicit that high ranking political figures in world soccer and in national governments have economic and social (or familial) relationships, solidifying these networks.
At the top right, in blue, are the governing agencies of football that have a stake in the stadium. FIFA, the world governing body, CONMEBOL, the regional association, the CBF, Brazil's national soccer federation and FERJ, the Rio de Janeiro State federation. The middle section, in yellow, refer to police and/or military units (MP, PE, GEPE, Guarda Municipal) or to specific national laws that deal with fans and stadiums (Law of the Spectator is but one). In green are the Brazilian governmental agencies involved in the stadium including national, state, and local governments as well as SUDERJ, the Rio de Janeiro state superintendency for sports that owns and manages the stadium with more than 1,000 full time employees. Radiating out of the stadium on the bottom right, are the connections that the stadium has to other social, urban, historical and other realms that can be picked apart as one chooses.
