HAMBURG - Fifa secretary-general Jerome Valcke has voiced his concern at the accommodation and travel plans so far in place for fans travelling to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

"I am not worried about ticket sales but instead about accommodation for the fans.

"It is our concern that every fan in the world who has bought a ticket also gets a flight and a room," Valcke said in an interview yesterday with Germany's Kicker magazine.

"We need enough accommodation for the guests and a high and secure transport capacity." - Sapa-DPA
