World Cup 2010

WORLD CUP 2010

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME SERIOUS SOCCER?

The greatest show on earth will take place in South Africa from the 11th June 2010 to the 11th July 2010. The Soccer World Cup has grown from its beginning in 1930 to become one of the greatest sporting events in the world. Well over a billion people are expected to follow the month long tournament between the world's top 32 (possibly 36 in 2010) soccer playing nations.

The venues were approved by FIFA's executive committee at a meeting on the 17th March 2006 after being proposed by the South African local organising committee (SALCO). The early announcement of the venues is intended to help the cities which will now be able to learn from their German counterparts at this year's tournament.
