Franz Beckenbauer is so confident about preparations for the World Cup that he insists the event could start immediately.

"With the exception of a few little problems, we are nearly finished. We could start tomorrow," said former World Cup winner Beckenbauer who is the president of the organizing committee.

The finals kick-off on June 9 and run until July 9. Around 500,000 euros ($638,000) per stadium will be spent on the final touches for the grounds between May 25 and May 29, he said.
