Party with host of questions
DELEGATES from Sheffield are set to travel to South Africa today to find out more about how to successfully host the World Cup.
Representatives from all the cities that could be involved if England hosts the 2018 World Cup were invited, although those from Leeds are not attending.
During the FIFA-led tour, the three representatives from Sheffield will get information on issues such as how a host stadium and city prepares for a fixture.
