Problems are growing in Natal ahead of Italy-Uruguay with a sinkhole and now a flooded media centre.
The Group D decider kicks off on Tuesday at 17.00 UK time (13.00 local) at the Arena das Dunas.
There are increasing concerns at the safety of the venue after weeks of heavy rain and floods in the area.
A few days ago a sinkhole opened up around 6km (4 miles) from the stadium and reports today show it is growing in size.
The favelas near the stadium have been evacuated, as houses are teetering on the edge of the precipice.
This evening Brazilian media released pictures of the media centre within the Arena das Dunas, which appeared to be flooded.
They claim a burst water main caused the flooding, which saw water drip down on the journalists present.
It is hoped the situation can be resolved before Monday, when Italy and Uruguay will hold Press conferences and the teams have their warm-up sessions on the pitch.
