FIFA president Sepp Blatter is showing confidence in South Africa's security plans for the upcoming 2010 World Cup. Games organizers held a workshop in Zurich, where security officials introduced measures set up for the event.

There are less than 100 days to go before the 2010 World Cup. Security issues topped the agenda for a two day meeting at FIFA headquarters. Organization president Sepp Blatter says security is important at any World Cup, and he urged the world to trust the tournament hosts.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter said, "I, or FIFA, trust, or has confidence in South Africa. Definitely yes, otherwise we wouldn't have taken the decision to go there and then to reiterate our trust and confidence."

Police representatives, including Interpol officials and delegations from the participating countries in the World Cup, expressed their trust in the planned security measures.

South Africa's National Police Commissioner Bheki Cele said, "As we approach the day, the security agencies and the personnel that will be there will be supporting the players, the participants, the fans and everybody to enjoy as maximum as they can and with the full understanding that we are not there to fight any war."

International police forces will mount the biggest ever joint intelligence gathering operation for a sports event. Interpol's manager of operations says no stone would be left unturned.

Chris Eaton, Interpol Manager of Opertions, said, "Yesterday and today police and security experts for most of the competing countries and Interpol and led by FIFA and the South African police have discussed and reached the unanimity of support, an offer of support to South Africa for the conduct of this World Cup."

South Africa expects the best result as it hosts the 19th FIFA World Cup during June and July 2010.
