We are starting a blog on FIFA world cup 2010. The FIFA world cup 2010 is the 19th world cup and is scheduled to take place between 11th June, 2010 and 11th July, 2010. The world cup has a qualification process that began in August 2007 and involved 204 of the 208 FIFA national teams.
Africa was chosen as the host for the 2010 World Cup as part of a 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.
Italy are the defending champions. The draw for the finals took place on 4 December 2009 in Cape Town.
