UPDATE: After December 4th we have final world cup schedule here.
South Africa 2010 world cup schedule, as I promised yesterday is here. art of the Five African nations who placed bids to host the 2010 World Cup, was chosen as the host for the 2010 World Cup as part of a new policy to rotate the event between football confederations (which was later abandoned in October 2007). The other 4 nations were Egypt, Libya/Tunisia (co-hosting) and Morocco.
With anticipation growing ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™, the official Match Schedule has been released (see below). Games will be played in Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, Mangaung/Bloemfontein, Nelson Mandela Bay/Port Elizabeth, Nelspruit, Polokwane, Rustenburg, Tshwane/Pretoria between 11 June and 11 July 2010.
As of 17 June 2009, 6 out of 32 teams have qualified for the World Cup in 2010 tournament. As a host of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, South Africa automatically qualify for the tournament.
