World Cup 2010: South Africa

Join Friends at Soccerphile.

The 2010 World Cup will take place in South Africa, the first time the tournament will be staged on the African continent.

South Africa controversially and narrowly lost out in the vote to hold the 2006 World Cup but ran out comfortable winners in the bid for 2010 over its African rivals in the FIFA vote in 2004.

South Africa successfully staged (and won) the 1995 Rugby World Cup and hosted the 2003 Cricket World Cup (won by Australia).
