Football fans interested in travelling to the 2010     FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa will be able to book accommodation on the     official tournament website www.FIFA.com following the launch today of an online accommodation     service. In total, MATCH has secured 1,725,190 room nights for next year’s     FIFA World Cup™ and 43% of the entire inventory (741,832 room nights) in     the 1,007 properties is reserved for the general public.    

The accommodation service will enable fans to     instantly search the available inventory and make bookings. The process is     simple: visit the FIFA World Cup™ section on FIFA.com and click on     “Destination” and then on “Accommodation”. Enter the desired dates     and location to view the available options and immediately book the     accommodation of your choice.

Moreover,     MATCH has reached a service agreement with South African Airways (SAA) and     leased 20 aircraft for the duration of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™. These     will provide 100,000 seats on scheduled domestic flights on matchdays     during the month-long tournament. The domestic flights will fly to     destinations such as Nelspruit, Mangaung/Bloemfontein, Polokwane and     Nelson Mandela Bay/Port Elizabeth. This will help supporters find flight     connections to smaller city destinations from their accommodation     base.
