Football's ruling body FIFA has kept its promise to give construction workers who built South Africa's stadiums for the 2010 FIFA World Cup free tickets.
The organizers provided more than 200 South Africa's World Cup workers with double tickets, including the June 11 opening match at the 95000-seater Soccer City, on Monday.
"Today we recognize your contribution," FIFA local organizing committee CEO Danny Jordaan told workers at Soccer City stadium.
"My office is just next to the stadium. I saw flood lights going up at night and the workers working long after sunset to make sure the stadium is complete," he added.
The 2010 World Cup begins on June 11 and ends on July 11, with matches to be played at 10 stadiums in nine South African cities.
This is the first time an African country is to host the soccer World Cup.
