LONDON ─ Here’s a roundup of African soccer brought weekly courtesy of the African Soccer Agency.
2010 FIFA World Cup
RUMOURS are emerging that FIFA have set up a £400m contingency fund just in case South Africa cannot fulfil the hosting requirements for the 2010 World Cup.
General News Congo Brazzaville has appointed Serbian Ivica Todorov as their new coach.
Stephen Keshi (Nigeria) will begin his role as the new Mali coach this week.
It seems that Shaibu Amodu will return as coach of Nigeria. He previously led the Super Eagles in 2002. Expect an announcement soon.
In Tunisia they have a shortlist of three - Valid Halilhodzic (Serbia), Gerot Rohr (Germany) and the apparent favourite Bertrand Marchand (France)
It seems FIFA will allow a government selected 'normalisation committee' to run Senegal football following the recent chaotic period.

In other way i would need fifa to explain the requirements so that safa and some relevent authorities work firmly to meet the specified needs.
