World football governing body FIFA says South Africa is half way through to organising a perfect World Cup and one of the best the world has seen.

General Secretary Jerome Valcke says South Africa could now be seen as “plan B” for future organisers.

He says they have gone beyond their targets on everything, including the number of visitors to South Africa.

The number of tickets sold also exceeds the number sold in Germany.

Speaking at a media conference to mark the beginning of the Round of 16, Valcke said organisers were now working to ensure that things go smoothly for the closing ceremony.
