Everything is set for the culmination of the 2016 Rio Olympic games - the final battle in the men's football tournament between old rivals, the host Brazil and Germany, which is due to take place at Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Saturday.
Security measures are tightened around the legendary stadium to prevent any kind of possible tensions between fans as well as to minimise risks of robberies of tourists, which have occurred frequently during the 31st Summer Olympic games.
On their journey to the Olympic final, Brazil demolished Honduras 6-0 in the semis. Meanwhile Germany scored six goals in their two knock-out games, 4-0 against Portugal and 2-0 against Nigeria, to easily advance to the final face-off against the host nation.
Brazilian football fans are hoping for revenge for the humiliating 7-1 defeat to Germany in the 2014 FIFA World Cup semi-final, which took place at the Mineirao stadium in Belo Horizonte. Expectations are high that the Brazilian team, supported by nearly 80,000 supporters on the stands, will finally conquer its first Olympic gold medal in the men's football.
