World Cup Draw Confirmed

Cape Town will host the draw for the 2010 Soccer World Cup on December 4, local organising committee CEO Danny Jordan said on Thursday.

"Cape Town December 4 is the final step," he told a media briefing in the city.

"All the teams fixtures and stadiums will be complete, December 4 is a critical date."

Cape Town Mayor Dan Plato said the city was on track with its time frames.

"Cape Town is ready, and the stadium will be ready by December 4."

Jordaan said around two million tickets were still available for the event.

More than 800 000 had been sold, most of them to people in Europe and the United States. South Africans had bought 240 000 tickets. - Sapa
