The '''2010 FIFA World Cup''' will be the 19th [[FIFA World Cup]], an international tournament for [[Association football|football]], that is scheduled to take place between [[11 June]] and [[11 July]] [[2010]] in [[South Africa]]. It will be the first time that the tournament has been hosted by a nation in the [[Confederation of African Football]], leaving the [[Oceania Football Confederation]] as the only FIFA Confederation never to have hosted the event.
==Host selection==
{{main|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 between football confederations (This policy was later abandoned in October 2007). Five African nations placed bids to host the 2010 World Cup:
*{{EGY}}
*{{LBY}} / {{TUN}} (co-hosting)
*{{MAR}}
*{{RSA}}
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 [[Zurich]]. South Africa was awarded the rights to host the tournament, defeating Morocco and Egypt.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fifa.com/en/media/index/0,1369,101476,00.html |title=Host nation of 2010 FIFA World Cup - South Africa |date=[[2004-05-15]] |publisher=[[FIFA]] |accessdate=2006-01-08 }}</ref>
Results:
#{{RSA}}, 14 votes
#{{MAR}}, 10 votes
#{{EGY}}, 0 votes
<s>{{TUN}}</s> ''withdrew on [[8 May]] [[2004]] after joint bidding was not allowed''
<s>{{LBY}}</s> ''bid was rejected: bid did not meet the list of requirements and joint bidding was not allowed''
==Qualification==
{{main|2010 FIFA World Cup qualification}}
As the host nation, [[South Africa national football team|South Africa]] qualifies automatically. However, South Africa is the first host since 1934 to participate in World Cup qualifiers. This is because the [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF)|CAF qualifiers]] will also serve as the qualifying tournament for the [[2010 African Cup of Nations]], for which South Africa must qualify separately. Like the previous tournament, the defending champions [[Italy national football team|Italy]] do not qualify automatically.
The preliminary draw for the 2010 World Cup was held in [[Durban, South Africa]], on [[25 November]] [[2007]].
The Final draw for the 2010 FIFA World Cup will be staged in [[Cape Town]], South Africa, in December 2009 at the [[Cape Town International Convention Centre]].

==Preparations==
Five new stadiums are to be built for the tournament (three match venues and two practice grounds), and five of the existing venues are to be upgraded. Construction costs are expected to be R8.4bn.<ref>{{cite news | title=SA faces R8.4bn stadium bill | date=[[2006-10-01]] | work=[[News24]] | url=http://www.news24.com/News24/Sport/Soccer/0,,2-9-840_2006517,00.html | accessdate=2006-10-13}}</ref>
[[Image:WorldCup2010poster.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The official 2010 FIFA World Cup poster.]]
In addition to the stadiums being built and upgraded, South Africa is also planning to improve its current [[public transport]] infrastructure, and implement special measures to ensure the safety and security of local and international tourists attending the matches in accordance with standard FIFA requirements.<ref>{{cite news | title=2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Special Measures Act, 2006 | work=Republic of South Africa, Minister of Sport and Recreation - Online Government Gazette No. 28593 | date=[[2006-03-10]] | url=http://www.info.gov.za/gazette/bills/2006/b13-06.pdf | accessdate=2006-10-13}}</ref>
==Rumours of tournament being moved==
Rumours have circulated in various news sources that the 2010 World Cup could be moved to another country.<ref name="harding">{{cite news |author=Luke Harding |title=Doubt over South Africa 2010 |date=[[2006-06-12]] |publisher=[[The Guardian]] |url=http://football.guardian.co.uk/worldcup2006/story/0,,1818166,00.html |accessdate=2006-08-29 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |author=Jermaine Craig |title=Fifa denies SA may lose 2010 World Cup |date=2006-07-03 |publisher=[[The Star (South Africa)|The Star]] |url=http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?click_id=19&art_id=vn20060703014312923C258638&set_id= |accessdate=2006-08-30 }}</ref> Some people, including [[Franz Beckenbauer]], [[Horst R.

Plan B... Plan C is that the 2010 World Cup will be staged in South Africa".<ref>{{cite news |author=Sivuyile Mangxamba et. al |title=SA will host 2010 World Cup, says Blatter |date=[[2006-10-26]] |publisher=Pretoria News |url=http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=6&click_id=19&art_id=vn20061026104007469C369389 |accessdate=2006-10-30 }}</ref><ref name="yoong">{{cite news |author=Sean Yoong |title=FIFA says South Africa 'definitely' will host 2010 World Cup |date=[[2007-05-08]] |publisher=Associated Press |url=http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news;_ylt=Ah.1PkVLAGTpuoi3rG.VSMgmw7YF?slug=ap-fifa-wcup2010&prov=ap&type=lgns |accessdate=2007-05-15 }}</ref> Blatter has 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 World Cup]] in Germany also had a similar contingency plan.<ref>{{cite news |title=FIFA confirm World Cup back-up plan for 2010 |date=[[2007-04-30]] |publisher=[[ESPNsoccernet]] |url=http://soccernet-akamai.espn.go.com/news/story?id=426366&cc=5901 |accessdate=2007-04-30 }}</ref><ref name="yoong"/>
Despite reassurances by FIFA that the event would only be moved in the case of natural catastrophe, rumours continue to circulate about possible relocation of the event.<ref>{{cite news |title=Fifa makes 2010 Cup back-up plan |date=[[2007-04-30]] |publisher=[[BBC Sport]] |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/internationals/6606725.stm |accessdate=2007-04-30 }}</ref> These rumours have been criticised by [[South Africa]]'s Deputy Finance Minister [[Jabu Moleketi]], saying that some have targeted the event to reflect their persistent negativity towards South Africa and [[Africa]].<ref>{{cite news |author=SAPA |title=World Cup: 'Pessimists to eat their words' |date=[[2007-05-15]] |publisher=IOL Online |url=http://www.int.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=13&art_id=nw20070515141300975C518962 |accessdate=2007-05-15 }}</ref> The concerns have gained momentum recently with Blatter speaking to three countries as potential to replace South Africa - the main reason for the recent concern is the notice that Port Elizabeth Stadium is likely not to be finished for the [[2009 Confederations Cup]].<ref>http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=554459&cc=5901</ref>
==Controversies==
According to an article in ''Le Monde diplomatique'', "More than $8bn has been budgeted for the building and upgrading of infrastructure for the football World Cup in 2010, including 10 stadiums and a high-speed train... But almost none of the building or the money can be accessed by the poor who live in shantytowns without proper water, sanitation or electricity."<ref>[http://mondediplo.com/2008/05/13southafrica Le Monde Diplomatique]</ref>

==Schedule==
''All times are [[South African Standard Time]] ([[UTC+2]]).''
===Group stage tiebreakers===
In world football, there are various methods used to separate teams with equal points in a league. For the World Cup tournament, FIFA uses the following system.<ref name="2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa - Regulations">{{cite web |url=http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/fifa_wc_south_africa_2010_regulations_en_14123.pdf |title=Fifa World Cup South Africa 2010 Regulations - Article 17.6 |date=[[2007-07]] |publisher=[[FIFA]] }}</ref>
'''''The ranking in each group is determined as follows:'''''
a) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;
b) goal difference in all group matches;
c) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.
'''If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings will be determined as follows:'''
d) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between
the teams concerned;
e) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the
teams concerned;
f) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the
teams concerned;
g) drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.
===Group stage===
In the following tables:
*'''Pld''' = total games played
*'''W''' = total games won
*'''D''' = total games drawn (tied)
*'''L''' = total games lost
*'''GF''' = total goals scored (goals for)
*'''GA''' = total goals conceded (goals against)
*'''GD''' = goal difference (GF−GA)
*'''Pts''' = total points accumulated
The teams placed first and second (shaded in green) qualified to the round of 16.
