The Organisation Association Agreement, a document formalising South Africa's success in the bid race in May, was signed in Zurich by Fifa president Sepp Blatter and South African Football Association president Molefi Oliphant.

The signing ended two days of talks in the Swiss city between South African officials and world football's governing body.

South African officials were there to present final details of their proposed organising structures for the 2010 tournament, the first to be held on the Africa continent.

It was the latest in a series of on-going meetings as the country begins its plans to host the World Cup.
