The President of Federation of International Football Association (FIFA), Sepp Blatter (center of pic), is pretty much confident in giving the international sports press a state of the art media facility in South Africa 2010 World Cup. The upcoming Confederations Cup will see the organizer provide the best support for the sports broadcasters, journalists and media to cover the soccer event.

Mr Blatter said the cooperation between FIFA and the sports media has always been marked by respect and understanding for each others’ needs, adding that his organization has been and will remain a reliable partner of the Association of the International Press for Sports (AIPS).
