2010 FIFA World Cup In South Africa

Daftar Hotel In this season, we can share about, The 2010 FIFA World Cup South Afirca will be the 19th FIFA World Cup, the premier international football tournament. It is scheduled to take place between 11 June and 11 July 2010 in South Africa.

Hotel di Bali The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the culmination of a qualification process that began in August 2007 and involved 204 of the 208 FIFA national teams. As such, it matches the 2008 Summer Olympics as the sports event with the most competing nations.

This will be the first time that the tournament has been hosted by an African nation, after South Africa beat Morocco and Egypt in an all-African bidding process. This decision left the Oceania Football Confederation as the only confederation yet to host the FIFA World Cup. Italy are the defending champions. The draw for the finals took place on 4 December 2009 in Cape Town.

In cities across South Africa today started the countdown of last hundred days before the World Cup 2010 which will be played this summer in this African country.

Sepp Blatter, FIFA president, says South Africa is ready to host this international festival of Soccer, which will start on the 11th of June: "All is how it should be. African continent will host the world soccer festival. Now there is no more doubt."

"There was much skepticism about the World Cup in our country, but today, one hundred days before the start, I can say with satisfaction that everything will be ready to start", said Danny Jordaan, president of the Organizing Committee of 2010 World Cup.

Africa was chosen as the host for the 2010 World Cup as part of a new 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.

Even if Beckham does travel to South Africa as a glorified cheerleader, his absence from Fabio Capello's dressing room with a ruptured Achilles threatens to hurt Barry more than most. 

Beyond the pair's strong dynamic on the road, Beckham acted as an effective mentor to his younger team-mate when Barry endured a prolonged England exile, frozen out of the national side for almost four years after Sven-Goran Eriksson had chosen him to play a friendly against Serbia in June 2003.

"He helped me when I had the big absence from making squads," Barry says. "When he spoke to you, he gave you more encouragement. He knows the right way to speak to people, and when to do it. I've been in a lot of squads with David, I know him well. He's a good bloke to have around, so it's a sad loss."

It seems strange to imagine Barry on the margins, so transformed have his England prospects been under Capello. Indeed, in this ever-changing environment, the 29-year-old has established himself among the few hardy perennials, featuring in every one of the Italian's squads until suspension ruled him out of the qualifying win over Andorra last June.

Having experienced every aspect of the head coach's uncompromising approach, he knows that he earned such faith.

"You've seen already that he picks players on form rather than reputations, so I certainly trust his decisions there. Since he has taken over, I've never been regarded higher as a holding midfielder, and the things I've learnt there have made me realise more about that role and I've taken that on here at City. The Italian mentality is about defending and concentration, so I feel like I've learnt a lot."
