The 2010 World Cup will be the first tournament to be hosted by an African nation, with South Africa beating Morocco and Egypt in a bidding process that involved all-African nations. The choice of Africa to be the venue for the World Cup 2010 was in accordance with a new policy of rotating the event between football confederations, a policy that was later revised and unfortunately abandoned in October 2007.
The Soccer World Cup tournament will be held in ten venues as follows: Soccer City in Johannesburg, Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, Cape Town Stadium in Cape Town, Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg, Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria, Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth, Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein, Peter Makoba Stadium in Polokwane, Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit, and Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg.
