"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," said Blatter.

The tickets for the construction workers will be allocated as part of the 2010 FIFA World Cup ticketing fund through which FIFA, the Local Organising Committee and the six FIFA Partners will distribute 120,000 tickets to deserving South Africans who have contributed to the success of the 2010 FIFA World Cup and who could otherwise not afford to be part of this historic event.

The workers will be given tickets to the first FIFA World Cup match at the stadium they helped build, with the exception of the opening match at the Soccer City Stadium on 11 June 2010.

Soccer City construction workers will be given tickets to the second FIFA World Cup match to be played at the stadium.
