Preparations complete for World Cup draw

With about 24 hours left before the World Cup draw, Busan City is making final preparations. The event is scheduled to kick off shortly after seven on Saturday evening at the Busan Exhibition and Convention Center in the southern port city.
The one and half hour draw will be televised live to countries around the world.
FIFA president, Joseph Blatter, and top soccer officials are in Busan. On Monday, Blatter visited the Busan Exhibition and Convention Center and expressed his approval saying FIFA made a right choice in selecting Busan as the host city for the ceremony.
One-thousand-300 journalists from around the world have already arrived to cover the final draw. On Thursday, FIFA announced the list of 13 people who will conduct the draw, which will determine groupings for 32 qualifiers.
