FIFA team inspect Tunis

A FIFA inspection team has started its tour of Tunisia as part of the bidding process to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The five-man delegation, led by Jan Peeters, president of the Belgian Football Association, will inspect the stadia and infrastructure of capital Tunis during the week-long trip.

Africa will host the 2010 tournament for the first time in its history, courtesy of FIFA’s new rotation policy for hosting its top event.

Other candidates include favourites South Africa, Morocco, Egypt and Libya.
Morocco and South Africa have already been visited by the FIFA team, with Egypt and Libya playing host to the delegation in the new year.
A final decision on the host nation will be made in May.
