South Africa is the best host of the FIFA World Cup, FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke said on Saturday.

Addressing the media at Johannesburg's Soccer City he said that South Africa is one of the best attended World Cup tournaments in 20 years.

If there should be difficulties with any future host, "South Africa will always be a plan B for any World Cup," he said.

According to the South African Press Association, Valcke said that there would be additional security at the Free State stadium in Bloemfontein for Sunday's "big" match between Germany and England.

Valcke acknowledged that FIFA has experienced some transport problem at the beginning of the tournament.

It was now focused on organizing the July 11 closing ceremony.

"It's been a perfect World Cup. The number of foreign visitors and tickets sales were beyond expectations," said Valcke.
