2010 FIFA World Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the 19th FIFA World Cup, the premier international football 2010 FIFA World Cup
tournament. It is scheduled to take place between 11 June and 11 July 2010 in South Africa. The 2010 South Africa 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. This decision left the Oceania Football
Confederation as the only confederation yet to host the FIFA World Cup. 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 among 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.
The qualification draw for the 2010 World Cup was held in Durban, South Africa , on 25 November 2007.
List of qualified teams

The following 32 teams qualified for the final tournament.
AFC (4) CONCACAF (3) UEFA (13)
Australia Honduras Denmark

Japan Mexico England
Korea DPR United States France
Korea Republic Germany
CONMEBOL (5)
Greece
CAF (6) Qualified countries in green. For Key to the other

New Zealand Switzerland
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.
Qualification controversies
Controversy surrounded several of the final qualification matches in November 2009.
In the second leg of the play-off between France and the Republic of Ireland 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 replay on grounds of fairness, but this was denied
by FIFA under the Laws of the Game .[2 ] 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.[3 ][4 ]
Costa Rica also complained over Uruguay's winning goal in the CONMEBOL–CONCACAF playoff.[5 ]
There was crowd trouble around two matches between Egypt and Algeria, with the Algerian team bus stoned before the first in Cairo, and reports of Egyptian
fans ambushed after the second in Khartoum , Sudan. Local media made lurid reports, and diplomatic relations between the countries nosedived .
In response to the incidents during qualification, and to a match fixing controversy, on 2 December 2009 FIFA called for an extraordinary general meeting of
their Executive Committee . After the meeting , FIFA announced that they would be setting up an inquiry into technology and extra officials in the game, but
they did not announce the widely-expected move of fast-tracking the introduction of goal -line referee's assistants, already being trialled in the Europa League,
and instead restated that the competition in South Africa would be officiated as before, with just one referee, two assistants, and a fourth official.[6 ] 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.
[7]
—FIFA President Sepp Blatter,
Prize money and club payments

The total prize money on offer for the tournament was confirmed by FIFA as $420 million, a 60 percent increase on the 2006 tournament .[8 ] 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:[8]
$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 clubs, amounting to just over €1,000 per player per day. [9 ]
This was the result of an agreement reached in 2008 between FIFA and European clubs to disband the G-14 and drop their claims for compensation dating
back to 2005 over 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.[10 ][11 ][12]
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.[13 ] 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.[14 ]
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 at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[14 ]

Match ball
Main article: Adidas Jabulani
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 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. [15]
There have already been critics of the ball. FC Barcelona 's goalkeeper, Víctor Valdés, said: "I'm scared about the ball, it's
unpredictable".[16]

Preparations
Five new stadiums have been built for the tournament , and five of the existing venues are to be upgraded .
Construction costs are expected to be R8.4bn. [18]
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.[19] 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.[20]
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, [21] including a temporary restriction of
flight operation in the airspace surrounding the stadiums. [22]
The readiness of this African nation to host one of the biggest events in a sports that is worshiped by millions has
received positive response from FIFA. FIFA has rated the readiness of South Africa at eight on a scale of 10 [23] with
the hope that they would be completely ready before the matches actually start .
Construction strike

70,000 construction workers [24] who were supposed to be working on the new stadiums walked off their jobs on 8 The Lukasrand Tower in Pretoria
July 2009. The majority of the workers receive R2500 per month (about £192, €224 or $313), but the unions allege sporting a football in anticipation of
that some workers are grossly underpaid – some receiving as little as R40 (£3.11) a week. A spokesperson for the the world cup
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.[25][26][27]
Transportation
Major road networks have been improved to cater for the expected influx of people coming to the country who will be traveling to and from the match
stadiums. The Gautrain(underground rail network) will be complete in time for the opening game, but only limited lengths of the route .
Major metros have also updated their current public bus systems to cater for visitors. Websites such as Vaya Nathi (http://www.VayaNathi.co.za) have been
created for host city visitors to view bus route information in host cities .
Legacy
The following stadiums have all been upgraded to meet FIFA specification as a lasting legacy of the World Cup.
Cecil Payne Stadium[28 ] Princess Magogo Stadium[31]

Dobsonville Stadium[28 ] Rabie Ridge Stadium[28 ]

Orlando Stadium[28 ]
Relocation rumours
During 2006 to 2007, rumours circulated in various news sources that the 2010 World Cup could be moved to another
country.[33][34] 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.[33 ][35] 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".
[36][37]
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. [37][38][39 ]
Fans celebrating the
Despite reassurances by FIFA that the event would only be moved in the case of natural catastrophe, rumours continued to forthcoming 2010 FIFA
circulate about possible relocation of the event.[40] These rumours were criticised by South Africa's Deputy Finance Minister World Cup in South Africa
Jabu Moleketi, saying that some have targeted the event to reflect their persistent negativity towards South Africa and Africa. (Camps Bay, Cape Town)
[41]
Controversies
Evictions
As with many 'hallmark events' throughout the world,[42] the 2010 FIFA World Cup has been connected to evictions[43 ][44 ][45] 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.[46][47] They have gained a lot of publicity for their efforts even in the international media. [48]
[49][50]
Another 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.[51] The residents would be moved to the poverty stricken Delft township on the outskirts of the city and out of sight from the N 2 Freeway.[52][53 ][54 ]
There has been particular concern about forced removals to the Blikkiesdorp camp in Delft and that, in Durban, children are being forcibly removed from the
city centre .[55]

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. [56] [57] Fears have been expressed that the growing protests by shack dwellers could result in the
tournament being disrupted .[58 ][59 ] Some grassroots social movements have called for a boycott of the event. [60]
Human Rights
In April 2010, the Swiss Labour Assistance SLA launched a petition to FIFA's President Joseph Blatter.[61] The petition asks FIFA to actively engage against
exploitation and against the violation of human rights in the context of FIFA World Cups . The petition will be handed over in June 2010.
Blikkiesdorp
See also: Blikkiesdorp
Blikkiesdorp has become well -known for its high crime rate, its substandard living conditions, and its extremely hot or cold, windy and sandy living
environment.[62][63 ] [64 ][65 ] NGOs, international human rights organisations, and the Anti-Eviction Campaign have publicly criticised the conditions in
Blikkiesdorp and how they say it is used to reinforce the eviction of poor families especially to make way for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[66 ][67 ][68] Residents
have also threatened to burn down Blikkiesdorp before the World Cup begins because of the bad conditions in the settlement .[69 ]
Crime and Security

Tournament organiser Danny Jordaan dismissed concerns that the terrorist attack on the Togo national team which took place in Angola in January 2010, had
any relevance to the security arrangements for the World Cup.[70 ]
South Africa and others have expressed concerns that the World Cup will stimulate and be a boon to the illicit sex trade. [71][72][73 ]
Non-FIFA events
In November 2009 it was reported that a rugby Test match between the Springboks and France scheduled to take place in Cape Town on the 12th June 2010
would be moved to Europe due to FIFA regulations banning other sport events in host cities during the time of the World Cup.[74 ] After negotiations between
the South African Rugby Union and members of the local organising committee, it was announced that the Test will be allowed to take place in Cape Town on
the originally scheduled date because no World Cup match is to be played in Cape Town on that day, and the Test will be played at Newlands, which is not a
World Cup venue .[75 ][76]
FIFA Trademarks
Kulula.com were ordered by FIFA it to withdraw an advertisement that it claimed infringed on their trademarks.[77 ] The advert, titled "The unofficial carrier
of the you-know-what", features soccer balls , vuvuzelas and the National Flag of South Africa which FIFA claims when used in conjunction with each other
constitutes a infringement of its trademarks .[78] Kulula.com disputed FIFA's claim,[79] but later announced that they would withdraw the specific advert whilst
continuing with the advertisement campaign .[80]
Filming
Sony technology will be used to film the games . According to FIFA up to 25 of the games will be captured using 3D cameras.[81 ] It will be supplying its
flagship HDC-1500 cameras as well as its new HDC-P1 unit, a compact , point -of-view (POV)-type camera with a 2/3-inch lens. The 3D games will be
produced for FIFA by Host Broadcast Services. [82]
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).[83]

ceremony was presented by South African actress Charlize Theron, assisted by FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke. [85] The balls were drawn by English
football star David Beckham and African sporting figures Haile Gebreselassie, John Smit, Makhaya Ntini , Matthew Booth and Simphiwe Dludlu. [86]
