FIFA have announced that tickets for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa will go on sale on February 20.
South Africa are due to host the first ever World Cup to be held on the African continent, and the event will certainly show the global community that an event of the magnitude of the greatest show on earth can be handled by one of Africa's most football-mad countries.
FIFA revealed that it has already sold record amounts of hospitality packages to businesses around the world for the show piece event that begins in June 2010.
Spokesman Jermaine Craig said more than 50,000 packages have been bought by small and large businesses, which is a “much faster pace than sales for the 2006 championship in Germany”.
Craig said that tickets to the general public for Africa's first World Cup will be on sale at the world football governing body's website, FIFA.com.
