The next World Cup takes place in 2010 in South Africa.

But due to security concerns in the region, FIFA does have a plan B in place.

The president of FIFA Sepp Blatter stated: “I would be a very negligent president if I hadn’t put away in a drawer somewhere a plan B… However, only a natural catastrophe would change things.”

Africa will be the host country for the next year’s Confederation Cup and it should act as a warm-up act for the World Cup.

It seems FIFA tends to forget that with these types of events security is always an issue. No matter where they take place.
