FIFA team in SA

A team of inspectors from soccer’s world governing body FIFA is visiting South Africa today as part of a tour of countries bidding to host the 2010 World Cup.

The five-strong FIFA team – headed by the president of Belgium’s Football Association, Jan Peeters - will visit the eight venue sites for the bid over the coming days.

The visit comes hot on the heels of a recent visit to rival bidder Morocco earlier this month.

All countries will have been visited by the end of the year.

A final decision is due next May.
