The United States' World Cup bid team is preparing to tell FIFA it can set an attendance record if awarded the 2018 or 2022 tournament.

Bid leaders plan to set a sales target of five million match tickets when FIFA introduces the 10 candidates to the world's football media in Cape Town on Friday, when the draw for the 2010 event will be made.
