Jerome Valcke, FIFA General Secretary, said, "I am a little bit disappointed when I went from the hotel to the SAFA house this morning I have not seen a single promotion of the Confederations Cup on my way. Not a single. From the time you are at the airport to the time you are at the hotel, then to SAFA House and to Soccer City stadium there is not a single promotion of the Confederations Cup and not a single one of the World Cup, I have to say."
