Applications for three million FIFA 2010 World Cup tickets will open this weekend with 120,000 reserved for locals at a reduced price to attend the world's top football event.
Tickets will be priced in US dollars with one person allowed to apply for only four tickets per game for a maximum of seven matches.
A total of 120,000 tickets, known as category four tickets will be reserved for the residents of the host country and will be sold at reduced prices to ensure that FIFA partners and ordinary people, including stadium construction workers, are afforded the chance to see the World Cup.
The 2010 World Cup, the first to be hosted on the continent, starts in June.
