FIFA World Cup 2010

South Africa’s dreams of hosting the FIFA World CupTM took root several years before that exhilarating day of 15 May 2004, when it was announced that football’s showpiece would be coming here in 2010. From the beginning of the bid process South Africa committed that the 2010 World Cup would be an African World Cup, which would provide momentum to growth and development and the African renaissance. South Africa would be Africa’s stage and the bid book proclaimed: “Africa’s time has come, and South Africa is ready”.
