We could see a huge charge for investment engagement in South Africa as a result of the World Cup. ... FIFA has a tremendous amount of confidence in the economy, political stability and the institutions of this country.
FIFA are seeking to get the whole hosting process going as soon as possible and will be establishing an office in South Africa early in the year.
We must invest in building world class infrastructure, the skills of those who administer the game on the African continent, and invest more in the game itself and have a more comprehensive approach to the development of the youth on the African continent.
