South Africa will host the 19th edition of the Football World Cup from June 11 to July 11, 2010. This is the first football world championship entrusted to a country on the African continent in the history of this prestigious competition and South Africa, which not so long ago emerged from apartheid, was able to rise to the challenge and organize a tournament worthy of this global event bringing together the 32 countries qualified for the final phase.
This global event will give South Africa a boost to its economy which will benefit for many years from the legacy of this grandiose celebration. All sports, transport, reception and accommodation infrastructures have been improved and developed, requiring very heavy investments in all areas.
Because for the awarding of the World Cup, the International Football Federation has always been uncompromising and has placed its trust in South Africa, inspired by the country's experience in organizing major world competitions.
Algeria's hard-fought and well-deserved double qualification for this edition of the World Cup and the 27th African Cup of Nations (CAN) has aroused unprecedented popular enthusiasm.
In Angola, in January 2010, during the final phase, our national football team finished its journey in the golden square, exceeding the assigned objectives. Preceding the final phase of the World Cup by only a few months, this continental event will have constituted a timely preparation for the great and prestigious football game and a remarkable return, of our national team, among the world's elite.
Ready on time and on all fronts, South Africa will honor Africa and will be able to welcome the competition, the numerous participants, the hosts, the supporters and the tourists in the best conditions of conviviality in the purest tradition of African warmth.
