An extensive security operation will be put in place at all hotels being used by the 32 World Cup teams in South Africa.
A FIFA document, published by Associated Press, has said: "The enthusiasm of some fans, ever present nature of international terrorism and intensively competitive nature of the World Cup necessitates that the OC [organising committee] and government should ensure that the most effective measures of security are implemented."
The report says that "security services will monitor the floors occupied by the teams on a 24-hour basis", with access to hotels strictly limited to individuals with the appropriate accreditation.
"Cameras will be installed in the passages of the dedicated floors of hotels," the document revealed.
"There will also be a static protection on these dedicated floors."
It will also be very difficult for security devices to be planted on the transport used by teams.
"Coaches will be checked and cleared onsite by South African Police Service explosive units before each journey," the FIFA dossier added.

GOOOOOAL MILAN! And what a strike it was from Kevin-Prince Boateng! Here's our match commentator with the details:
"AC Milan go 1-0 up!
"Kevin-Prince Boateng is slid through on goal on the right side of the penalty area, chesting the ball down beautifully before smashing it in via the underside of the crossbar. A superb goal!"
