fifa aqpprove extral cash for south africa world cup




The man running the 2010 World Cup for Fifa has admitted an extra £67m ($100m) had to be injected into the project to ensure hosts South Africa were ready.

Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke told BBC Sport the game's governing body signed off the 25% increase at an executive committee meeting in March.

He said the extra money was required to help the South Africans ensure team training camps were ready.

South Africa's organisational budget has now swelled from £282m to £349m.

wouldnt this money be better spent on south africa's poverty stricken, who live in shacks?
