The FIFA delegation assessing the African countries bidding to host the 2010 World Cup will travel to Libya later this week before concluding its travels with a trip to Egypt.
The five-man team will spend a week in Libya, one of the five countries hoping to land the right to host the event, the first time it will be staged in Africa.
Headed by Belgium’s Jan Peeters, the team will depart Libya on January 14 before travelling to Egypt for a week long visit starting January 23.
The team has already visited South Africa, Morocco and Tunisia.
A final decision on who will host the event will be made in Zurich on May 15.
