To host or not to host – that is not the question any longer. It is less than 500 days until the 2010 World Cup starts.
There were many reasons for and against the World Cup in South Africa.
- The FIFA acknowledged the huge soccer enthusiasm in Africa.
- Many of the great players in the top leagues in Europe are from Africa.
- The World Cup was traditionally hosted in Europe and South America. Now North America and Asia have hosted the event as well. Quite simply: It is Africa’s turn.
- South Africa seemed to be best able to organize the event and build the necessary infrastructure.
