COLOMBO (AP): The chief of the world's largest sports body,
FIFA, arrived in Sri Lanka on Monday for a two-day visit to help
develop soccer in this island nation.

Joseph Blatter was welcomed with banners and posters on the
streets of the capital Colombo, put up by the Football Federation

Blatter will lay the foundation stone of Sri Lanka's first
national soccer training center and declare open the new
administrative headquarters for the country's football
