In May 2004, FIFA awarded the hosting of the FIFA World Cup to an African country for the first time in the 101 years of FIFA’s existence.
As the host of the 2010 FIFA World CupTM, South Africa stands as a representative of Africa and as part of an African family of nations.
Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe are collectively using the World Cup to develop the seven transfrontier conservation areas (TFCAs) in the region.
