    One year to go

    Thursday 11 June 2009
    Today marks exactly one year before the kickoff of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ on 11 June 2010 and the CEO of the Organising Committee, Dr Danny Jordaan, reflects on why he has never for a second doubted this country's ability to deliver.

Public Viewing

South Africa to host a world party
To ensure that the 2010 FIFA World Cup will be another unforgettable, massive football festival for all South Africans, the broadcast for non-commercial public viewings across the host country will be made free of charge.

    The First Step

      How the Bid was won

      South Africa came very close to earning the right to host the 2006 FIFA World Cup™. In the end, Germany pipped them to it by 12 votes to 11 and went on to host a wonderful tournament, leaving the South Africans deflated, but nonetheless accepting the agonising defeat with grace.
