FIFA may ask Brazil to host the 2010 World Cup soccer tournament if South Africa isn't deemed ready to host the international tournament, Spain's AS.com Web site reported.
FIFA told the South African government it has contacted Brazil's soccer federation, known as CBF, to see if the Latin American country, which is set to host the World Cup in 2014, will be ready to host the 2010 competition, AS reported, without saying where it got the information.

Brazil's long wait to stage the World Cup will end on Tuesday (2.30 p.m. British time) when it is named the host nation for the 2014 finals.
