Blatter said every possible security measure was being taken for the tournament being hosted in the African continent for the first time.

'Whatever is possible we are doing together with the government of South Africa. And also with the institution looking after security. We are working together,' he said.

He said South Africa has the experience of organising the cricket world cup, the rugby world cup, besides ATP tournaments.

The International Olympic Committee will also meet next year in that country.

'Let's go there. Let's be in a country saying please come to South Africa. And we will receive you well,' Blatter assured.

He said organising the World Cup in South Africa was easier than hosting the event jointly in Japan and Korea in 2002. 'It is easy to organise the World Cup in South Africa than the one in which we had in a combination in 2002. They were two different countries with different policies and two different systems,' he said.

To a query on World Cup sponsors Coca-Cola's decision to award the tournament's best goal celebration, he said 'These celebrations must be done according to the respect and the discipline that players show in the field of play.

'It's also an invitation to the players to behave well after having scored a goal. I also appeal to them 'do it, but do it with discipline and respect'. And the best lot with respect and discipline will be rewarded,' he added.
