Blatter made the claims amid concerns some pitches in Germany were deteriorating because of the cover provided by stadia roofs.
The FIFA president said: “We are in the process of collecting the information on this question. Perhaps at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa this stage will have been reached.
“The stadiums with roofs which totally or partially cover the stands to protect the fans from rain and sun prevent the sun and the wind from getting to the grass.”
FIFA chief Sepp Blatter says it is possible artificial pitch surfaces could be used during the 2010 World Cup.
