The workers involved in the constructions of the ten soccer stadiums can expect a special bonus of two free tickets to the 2010 Fifa World Cup.
"They are working stone by stone to make sure the stadiums are completed on time, and they are an integral part of the 2010 Fifa World Cup.
We want to ensure that they will be in the stadiums they created," announced the Fifa president Joseph S. Blatter on Wednesday.
"Therefore, every worker will receive two free Fifa World Cup tickets -that's our promise," said Blatter as he concluded his visit to South Africa.
There are well over 20,000 workers currently on site at the country's ten stadiums currently under construction or renovation.
They will be given tickets to the first world cup match at the stadium they helped build, with the exception of the opening match at the Soccer City Stadium, south of Johannesburg, on June 11, 2010.
Soccer City construction workers will be given tickets to the second match to be played at the stadium.
These tickets will be allocated as part of the 2010 Fifa World Cup ticketing fund through which Fifa, the Local Organising Committee and the sponsors will distribute free of charge 120 000 tickets to deserving South Africans who have contributed to the success of the world cup and who could not otherwise afford to be part of this historic event.
