FIFA President Sepp Blatter, has arrived in Cape Town today, to assess the progress for next year’s FIFA Confederations Cup and the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Blatter is accompanied by FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke.

The City of Cape Town’s Pieter Cronje said Blatter had visited the city more than a year ago, when the structure was “barely out of the ground”

Blatter will now be able to witness the progress being made to Green Point stadium, which just needs a roof and is expected to be completed by mid-December 2009.

“Mr Blatter will be accompanied by the secretary general of FIFA and chairperson and CEO of the organising committee, Dr. Irvin Khoza , Mr Danny Jordaan and Mr Tokyo Sexwale, who is a board member of the organising committee.”
