World Cup 2010


FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME, FIFA President Sepp Blatter confirmed the decision that South Africa's hosting of the 2010 World Cup will occur. Despite rumours about South Africa's inability to host the world's biggest single-sporting event, South African organizing chief Danny Jordaan has stated that the country is on or even ahead of schedule. Blatter has stated that the only reason for not having the World Cup being held on South African soil would be a natural disaster. Possible alternative venues, in case of such a disaster, would be the United States, England, Japan, Spain, Mexico and Australia.

Qualification rounds for the 2010 World Cup begin later this year.
