South Africa will host the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the first time in the history of world football. It is scheduled to take place between 11th June and 11th July 2010.

South Africa is currently building five new football stadiums in preparation for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. It will be the first time in history that the region will own stadiums dedicated to football. Under the previous Apartheid government, stadiums were built exclusively for rugby and cricket. This is a legacy that the 2010 FIFA World Cup will leave in South Africa and for its people.
