SOUTH African 2006 Soccer World Cup bid chief Danny Jordaan said that the hosting of the showcase by South Africa will be of great symbolic value to the continent. Jordaan added that it makes sense from an African perspective if Brazil withdraws its candidacy. According to Jordaan talks on this issue will be held sonn between the two federations. Fifa will choose a host for the 2006 World Championships between five candidates – Brazil, England, Germany, Morocco and South Africa – in Zurich on July 6. Jordaan said that South Africa will have no problems organising the World Cup, but he admitted that Fifa’s task is not an easy one. Jordaan said that the Federation will have to choose between several excellent candidates, with Germany in particular having a very strong bid. Jordaan pointed out however that Europe has hosted a number of World Cups, while Africa’s first would be of great symbolic value.
