FIFA, the governing body of international football, said Wednesday there had been no break-in at its World Cup headquarters in Johannesburg, where a theft was discovered a few days earlier, DPA reported.   

Seven World Cup trophy replicas were stolen from a storeroom. Worth 210 euros (about 258 dollars) apiece, such replicas are normally used as gifts.
