A worker has been reported to have died after falling at the construction site of the stadium that will host Brazil's World Cup opener in Sao Paulo.
Fabio Hamilton da Cruz died in hospital in the city, four months after two fellow workers died when a crane collapsed at the stadium.
A FIFA statement read: 'FIFA and the Local Organising Committee (LOC) deeply regret the death of worker Fabio Hamilton da Cruz following an accident which occurred today at the Arena de Sao Paulo.

'With great sadness we send our sincere condolences to the family and colleagues. For FIFA, the LOC and the Brazilian authorities safety is paramount. We are awaiting the official report from the authorities.'
According to FIFA, the venue is expected to be finished in mid-May, although it is not clear if the latest incident will result in further delays.
The tournament starts on June 12.
