Brazilian football legend Rivaldo who memorably shone at the 2002 FIFA
World Cup has warned tourists planning to visit Brazil this summer for
the RIO Olympics to stay in their countries as they could endanger their
lives, after a 17-year-old girl was shot dead in a robbery on a main
road linking the city’s airport with many Games venues.

Ana Beatriz Pereira Frade was shot on Saturday
morning by an armed gang on a main road known as the Yellow Line road
connecting the cityโ€™s international airport with most of the Olympic
venues. The girl was heading to the airport with her family members and a
baby when she was hit by the bullet from the armed men.

This
is not the first time violence, fights, death attacks have occurred in
Brazil or it’s football stadiums as the people and labour unions are
unhappy with government over huge money spent on football and sports
competitions while the poverty level in the land increases by the day.
Posting
on Instagram, the 44 year old Rivaldo who lives with his family in the
United States said, โ€œI urge all of you who are planning on visiting
Brazil or coming for the Olympic Games this summer to stay in your
countries. You are putting your life at risk here.โ€
โ€œThis morning in Rio bandits killed this girl aged 17.
โ€œThings are getting worse all the time in Brazil.โ€
