FIFA president Sepp Blatter has visited Downing Street for a meeting with Prime Minister David Cameron as England's bid for the 2018 World Cup gears up for the final phase of the contest.

Blatter met deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg in the summer but has now accepted an invitation to meet Cameron face to face at Number 10.

The FIFA president watched a presentation on England's bid and met Government ministers as well as several football figures and bid ambassadors. FIFA's 24-man executive committee will vote on the 2018 and 2022 hosts on December 2.

Earlier, the Prime Minister told MPs the nation had the best fans, teams and stadiums and also the "biggest enthusiasm" for football.

Mr Cameron joked that the behaviour of rowdy MPs at Prime Minister's Questions was "always worse" than the behaviour of fans and players.
