The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the 19th FIFA World

Cup, the premier international football tournament. It is

scheduled to take place between 11 June and 11 July 2010 in

South Africa. The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the

culmination of a qualification process that began in August

2007 and involved 204 of the 208 FIFA national teams. As

such, it matches the 2008 Summer Olympics as the sports

event with the most competing nations.

This will be the first time that the tournament has been hosted

by an African nation, after South Africa beat Morocco and

Egypt in an all-African bidding process. Italy are the

defending champions. The draw for the finals took place on 4

December 2009 in Cape Town.

Host selection

Main article: FIFA World Cup hosts

Africa was chosen as the host for the 2010 World Cup as part of a new policy to rotate the event between football

confederations (which was later abandoned in October 2007). Five African nations placed bids to host the 2010

World Cup:

Egypt

Libya / Tunisia (co-hosting)

Morocco

South Africa

Following the decision of the FIFA Executive Committee not to allow co-hosted tournaments, Tunisia withdrew

from the bidding process. The committee also decided not to consider Libya's solo bid as it no longer met all the

stipulations laid down in the official List of Requirements.

After one round of voting, the winning bid was announced by FIFA president Sepp Blatter at a media conference

on 15 May 2004 in Zürich. South Africa was awarded the rights to host the tournament, defeating Morocco and

Egypt.[1]

Qualification

Main article: 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification

As the host nation, South Africa qualifies automatically for the tournament. However, South Africa did participate in

World Cup qualifiers because the CAF qualifiers also serve as the qualifying tournament for the 2010 African Cup

of Nations. They were the first host since 1934 to participate in preliminary qualifying. As happened in the previous

tournament, the defending champions were not given an automatic berth, and Italy had to participate in qualification.



Qualified countries

The qualification draw for the 2010 World Cup was held in Durban, South Africa, on 25 November 2007.

This is the first World Cup with no debutant associations, although two of the qualifiers (Slovakia and Serbia) have

previously appeared only as parts of former competing nations. In both cases FIFA considers these teams to have

retained the earlier nations' records.

Based on the October 2009 rankings used for the main draw, South Africa at 86 were the lowest ranked team in

the tournament.[2]

Prize money and club payments

The total prize money on offer for the tournament was confirmed by FIFA as $420 million, a 60 per cent increase

on the 2006 tournament.[3] Before the tournament, each participating team would receive $1 million, for preparation

costs. Once at the tournament, teams exiting at the group stage would receive $8 million. Thereafter, the prize

money would be distributed as follows:[3]

$9 million - Round of 16

$18 million - Quarter-finals

$20 million - Semi-finals

$24 million - Runners up

$30 million - Winners

In a first for the World Cup, there would also be payments made by FIFA to the domestic clubs of the players

representing their national teams at the tournament. This would see a total of €26 million being paid to domestic

Cup

representing their national teams at the tournament. This would see a total of €26 million being paid to domestic

clubs, amounting to just over €1,000 per player per day. [2] This arrangement followed claims for compensation to

FIFA from domestic clubs for the financial cost of injuries sustained to their players while on international duty, such

as that from Belgian club Charleroi S.C. for injury to Morroco's Abdelmajid Oulmers in a friendly game in 2004,

and from English club Newcastle United for an injury to England's Michael Owen in the 2006 World Cup.[4]

Mascot

The official mascot for the 2010 FIFA World Cup is Zakumi (born 16 June 1994 ),

an anthropomorphised leopard with green hair. His name comes from "ZA", the

international abbreviation for South Africa, and "kumi", a word that means "ten" in

various African languages.[5] The mascot's colours reflect those of the host nation's

playing strip – yellow and green.

Zakumi's birthdate coincides with a day known and celebrated as Youth Day in South

Africa and their second group match. The year 1994 marks the first non-racial

nationwide elections in South Africa. He will turn 16 in 2010.[6]

The Zakumi's official motto is: "Zakumi's game is Fair Play." The motto was seen in the

digital advertisement boards during the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup, and it will

also appear in next year's FIFA World Cup.[6]

Match ball

The match ball for the 2010 FIFA World Cup will be named the "Jabulani", made

by Adidas, which means "bringing joy to everyone" in isiZulu. The number eleven

plays a prominent role in the the new technologically advanced ball: it is the eleventh

World Cup match ball made by the German sports equipment maker; it features

eleven colours, one for each player on the pitch; and there are eleven official

languages of South Africa. Also, the event will start on the eleventh day of June and

end on the eleventh day of July.[7]

There have already been critics on the ball. FC Barcelona's goalkeeper, Víctor

Valdés, said: "I'm scared about the ball, it's unpredictable".[8]

Venues

In 2005, the organisers released a provisional list of thirteen venues to be used for the World Cup: Bloemfontein,

Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg (two venues), Kimberley, Nelspruit, Orkney, Polokwane/Pietersburg, Port

Elizabeth, Pretoria (two venues), and Rustenburg. This was narrowed down to ten venues[9] which were officially

announced by FIFA on 17 March 2006:

Capacity: 48,000 Capacity: 48,000 Capacity: 46,000 Capacity: 43,500 Capacity: 42,000

Preparations

Five new stadiums are to be built for the tournament (three new match venues and two new practice grounds), and

five of the existing venues are to be upgraded. Construction costs are expected to be R8.4bn.[10]

In addition to the stadiums being built and upgraded, South Africa is also planning to improve its current public

transport infrastructure within the various cities, with projects such as the Gautrain and the new Bus Rapid Transit

system (BRT) titled Rea Vaya.[11] Danny Jordaan, the president of the 2010 World Cup organising committee, has

said that he expects all stadiums for the tournament to be completed by October 2009.[12]

The country is also going to implement special measures to ensure the safety and security of local and international

tourists attending the matches in accordance with standard FIFA requirements,[13] including a temporary restriction

of flight operation in the airspace surrounding the stadiums.[14]

Construction strike

70,000 construction workers[15] who were supposed to be working on the new stadiums walked off their jobs on 8

July 2009. The majority of the workers receive R2500 per month (about £192, €224 or $313), but the unions

allege that some workers are grossly underpaid – some receiving as little as R40 (£3.11) a week. A spokesperson

for the National Union of Mineworkers said to the SABC that the "no work no pay" strike will go on until FIFA

assesses penalties on the organisers. Other unions threatened to strike into 2011. The World Cup organising

committee downplayed the strike and expressed confidence that the stadiums will be ready.[16][17][18]

Relocation rumours

During 2006 to 2007, rumours circulated in various news sources that the 2010 World

Cup could be moved to another country.[19][20] Some people, including Franz

Beckenbauer, Horst R. Schmidt and, reportedly, some FIFA executives, expressed

concern over the planning, organisation, and pace of South Africa’s

preparations.[19][21] However, FIFA officials repeatedly expressed their confidence in

South Africa as host, and stated that the event will not be moved, with FIFA president

Sepp Blatter re-iterating that "Plan A... Plan B... Plan C is that the 2010 World Cup

will be staged in South Africa".[22][23] Blatter stated that there is a contingency plan to

hold the World Cup elsewhere but only in the event of a natural catastrophe, and that

the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany also had a similar contingency plan.[23][24][25]

Despite reassurances by FIFA that the event would only be moved in the case of

natural catastrophe, rumours continued to circulate about possible relocation of the event.[26] These rumours were

criticised by South Africa's Deputy Finance Minister Jabu Moleketi, saying that some have targeted the event to

reflect their persistent negativity towards South Africa and Africa.[27]

Controversies

As with many 'hallmark events' throughout the world,[28] the 2010 FIFA World Cup has been connected to

evictions[29] which many claim are meant to 'beautify the city', impress visiting tourists, and hide shackdwellers. On

14 May 2009, Durban-based shack-dwellers took the KwaZulu-Natal government to court over their controversial

Elimination and Prevention of Re-Emergence of Slums Act, meant to eliminate slums in South Africa and put

homeless shackdwellers in transit camps in time for the 2010 World Cup.[30][31] They have gained a lot of publicity

for their efforts even in the international media.[32]

The most prominent controversy surrounding preparations for the World Cup is the N2 Gateway housing project in

Cape Town, which plans to remove over 20,000 residents from Joe Slovo Informal Settlement along the busy N2

Freeway and build rental flats and bond houses in its place in time for the 2010 World Cup.[33] The residents would

be moved to the poverty stricken Delft township on the outskirts of the city and out of sight from the N2

Freeway.[34][35][36]

In July 2009, South Africa was hit with rolling protests by poor communities who demanded access to basic

services, jobs, adequate housing and the democratisation of service delivery. These protests have been linked to the

World Cup as protesters complain that public funds are being diverted away from social issues to build stadiums

and upgrade airports.[37] [38]

France vs. Republic of Ireland

Main article: France vs Republic of Ireland (2010 FIFA World Cup Play-Off)

In the qualification play-off match between France and the Republic of Ireland on 18 November 2009, French



captain Thierry Henry, unseen by the referee, illegally handled the ball in the lead up to the winning goal, which saw

France make the final 32 teams ahead of Ireland. The incident caused widespread debate on FIFA Fair Play, and

how matches should be refereed at the highest level. The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) requested a re-play

of the game on grounds of fairness, but this was denied by FIFA under the Laws of the Game.[39] A widely

reported later request by Ireland to be included as an unprecedented 33rd World Cup entrant was later withdrawn

by the FAI, and dismissed by the FAI as peripheral to their other more substantial petitions for change in world

football made to FIFA.[40][41] On 2 December, FIFA called an extraordinary general meeting of the Executive

Committee to discuss various issues, with the Henry incident high on the agenda. FIFA announced they would be

setting up an inquiry into technology and extra officials in the game, but they did not announce a widely expected

move of the fast-tracked introduction of goal-line referee's assistants, already being trialled in the Europa League,

and confirmed the competition in South Africa would be officiated as normal with a referee, two assistants, and a

fourth official.[42] On the subject of fair Play, FIFA President Sepp Blatter said:

I appeal to all the players and coaches to observe this fair play. In 2010 we want to prove that football is more

than just kicking a ball but has social and cultural value...So we ask the players 'please observe fair play' so

they will be an example to the rest of the world[43]

Final Draw

See also: 2010 FIFA World Cup seeding

The FIFA Organising Committee approved the procedure for the Final Draw on 2 December 2009. The seeding

was based on the October 2009 FIFA World Ranking and seven squads joined hosts South Africa as seeded

teams for the Final Draw. The committee also approved the composition of the other pots as well as the procedure

for the final draw. Pot 2 was composed of teams from Asia, Oceania, and North and Central America and the

Caribbean. Pot 3 included teams from Africa and South America. Pot 4 had the remaining European teams.

Hosts South Africa was automatically positioned as A1; the other seeded teams were drawn into the other groups

B–H, but were always in position 1 of their group. Groups were drawn from A to H and the positions in the group

were drawn for Pots 2 to 4. Geographical criteria also were respected, meaning that no two teams from the same

confederation were drawn in the same group (except European teams, where a maximum of two will be in a group);

i.e., South Africa cannot play the African teams from Pot 3 and Argentina and Brazil cannot be drawn against the

three remaining South American teams. The first two African teams drawn from Pot 3 are placed with Argentina

and Brazil. Similarly, hosts South Africa may not be paired with any of the other African nations (also placed in Pot

3).[44]

Town International Convention Centre.[45] The ceremony was presented by South African actress Charlize Theron,

assisted by FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke.[46] The balls were drawn by former England captain David



Beckham and African sporting figures Haile Gebreselassie, John Smit, Makhaya Ntini, Matthew Booth and

Simphiwe Dludlu.[47]
