`Bid Book' preparations
Members of FFA's FIFA World Cup Bid Team have been in Zurich this week to meet with key FIFA personnel from various departments including legal, finance, media and broadcast.

Representatives from all bidding nations have been provided with further information on the `Bid Book' requirements, clarification on the FIFA Inspection tour (which will take place some time between July and September 2010) and details around official FIFA promotional opportunities afforded to each country to promote their bid.

All bidding nations will have an opportunity to promote their bid to the world's media at the FIFA World Cup Draw in Cape Town on 4 December 2009.

Three times lucky?


Tickets are now on sale for the Qantas Socceroos v Netherlands match, to be played on 10 October at Sydney Football Stadium.

This is an important warm up match for the Qantas Socceroos, who then head to Melbourne to play Oman in a crucial AFC Asian Cup Qualifier on 14 October.

Australia has an impressive record against the number 3 ranked Netherlands - having drawn (1-1) and won (2-1) on the two previous occasions the countries have met.

With Australia's Dutch connection, including our Dutch coaching staff and Jason Culina who, prior to joining Gold Coast United, made 160 appearances for Dutch clubs, this is a game not to be missed!

Tickets are now on sale through Ticketek on 132 849 or visit ticketek.com.au
