Installing artificial pitches around Africa is one of Blatter's projects

Fifa president Sepp Blatter says the 2010 World Cup in South Africa could be played on artificial pitches.

"We have envisaged, though it's not yet a final decision, that the 2010 World Cup could be played on artificial turf," Blatter told BBC Sport.

And Blatter also suggested future Africa Cup of Nations tournaments should be played on artificial turf.

"I think it's now time in this region to think about artificial turf," said the head of football's governing body.

Just an update to my other comments spoke on the phone just now to one of my connections in South Africa who just happens to be HG at one of the World cup stadia (it hosts rugby as well!) and he told me Blatter is just stirring as usual- all the surfaces for SA2010 will be natural turf-everything is already contracted out and planned-and existing surfaces are being upgraded-so message for blatter UP YOURS!!!

I intend to live forever, so far so good...
