USA President Barack Obama and FIFA President Sepp Blatter meet in the White House today, and Blatter will be extending his personal invitation for Obama to attend the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. 

Obama’s acceptance of the invitation, to which he has hinted at already, will be a huge marketing boost for South Africa, and for the 2010 World Cup.

“I know there are people around the president who are football fans, and that they will make everything possible in his agenda that the president be at the opening of the World Cup or the final,” Blatter said to Associated Press.
