FIFA president Sepp Blatter is to visit South Africa later this month in his final trip this year to each of the five African countries bidding to host the 2010 World Cup finals. Blatter has been invited by the South African government to attend celebrations marking 10 years of the country’s first democratic elections. He is due to arrive in Johannesburg on April 25 and meet with South Africa President Thabo Mbeki and expected to be accompanied by several key members of the FIFA executive committee. The 24 committee members vote in Zurich on May 15 to decide the host of the 2010 World Cup finals, the first to be held in Africa. South Africa are up against Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia. Blatter visited Morocco and Libya last week and was in Cairo last month. He had also been to Tunisia twice during the African Nations Cup finals earlier in the year.
