Supersize seats have constructed to hold obese football fans during next year's World Cup.

The reinforced seats will be able to hold fans that weigh up to 40 stone at Rio 2014.

But the double-width seats will cost larger fans twice the standard ticket price at the matches in Fortaleza's Castelao stadium.

Heavy load: Supersize seats have been constructed to hold obese football fans during next year's World Cup

They are priced at £38 - while the cheapest standard seats, which hold fans up to 20 stone, are £19, reported The Sun.

The 120 seats are blue instead of the standard white and have been installed in the 64,000 capacity venue.
