 Five African nations placed bids to host the 2010 World Cup:
.Following the decision of the FIFA Executive Committee not to allow co-hosted tournaments, Tunisia withdrew from the bidding process.^ Playing down any idea that England were favourites to win the right to host the event, he said with 11 nations competing for the votes of just 24 FIFA Executive Committee members, it was impossible to say who was likely to win.

 ^ The report is not binding on the 24-member executive committee that, on 15 May, will decide who hosts the event.

 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.^ Only the host country, South Africa automatically qualifies for the final tournament, but they will will actually compete in the CAF qualifiers, becoming the first hosts to compete in World Cup qualifying since 1934.

 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.^ I say "dreaded" because I just can't see any CONCACAF team defeating a CONMEBOL side in the play-off.

 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Game.[2] A widely reported later request by Ireland to be included as an unprecedented 33rd World Cup entrant was later withdrawn by the FAI, and dismissed by the FAI as peripheral to their other more substantial petitions for change in world football made to FIFA.[3][4]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.^ Personally, I fancy the same three teams from last two World Cups advancing again this time around, and Honduras getting the dreaded fourth place.

 .Local media made lurid reports, and diplomatic relations between the countries nosedived.^ But it did say the statement was being made in response to media reports that it had asked UBS to assess the sale of its African investments.
.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.^ Watch 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying - Argentina vs Brazil live ?: Watch one of the biggest matches of 2009 in..

 .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.^ Now you can travel across South Africa and keep in touch from Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town or any other major cities where FIFA matches are held.

 [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.
—FIFA President Sepp Blatter, [7]

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.^ The 16 surviving teams join 16 seeded teams in the group stage, in which there are eight groups consisting of four teams each.

Preparations

The Lukasrand Tower in Pretoria sporting a football in anticipation of the world cup
.Five new stadiums have been built for the tournament (three new match venues and two new practice grounds), and five of the existing venues are to be upgraded.^ A new stadium will be built in the Nelson Mandela Metro (encompassing Port Elizabeth) in the Eastern Cape 9.

 ^ There will be five new stadiums, while five existing stadiums will be upgraded for the world’s most popular sporting event.

 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.^ A new stadium will be built in the Nelson Mandela Metro (encompassing Port Elizabeth) in the Eastern Cape 9.

 ^ South Africa accommodation and flights to South Africa are already tight so you better start planning now.

 [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.^ The FIFA World Cup is without a doubt world's biggest sporting event.

 ^ Playing down any idea that England were favourites to win the right to host the event, he said with 11 nations competing for the votes of just 24 FIFA Executive Committee members, it was impossible to say who was likely to win.

Construction strike

.70,000 construction workers[24] 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.^ According to Ndyetabura, the farmers, who are organized in farmer groups, will receive sim cards provided by Zain that will be topped up every month - a sim card per group.

 ^ This page last updated on July 11 2009.

 ^ Following Zain's reduction, customers who sign up for the service will now enjoy unlimited Internet for Sh2,995 per month down from Sh3,999 and will also receive a free USB modem.

 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.^ FIFA World Cup 2010: Confident?
