2010 FIFA World Cup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2010 FIFA World Cup was the 19th FIFA World Cup, the world championship for men's
national association football teams. It took place in South Africa from 11 June to 11 July 2010.
The bidding process for hosting the tournament finals was open only to African nations; in
2004, the international football federation, FIFA, selected South Africa over Egypt and
Morocco to become the first African nation to host the finals.
The matches were played in 10 stadiums in nine host cities around the country, with the final
played at the Soccer City stadium in South Africa's largest city, Johannesburg. Thirty-two teams
were selected for participation via a worldwide qualification tournament that began in August
2007. In the first round of the tournament finals, the teams competed in round-robin groups of
four teams for points, with the top two teams in each group proceeding. These 16 teams
advanced to the knockout stage, where three rounds of play decided which teams would
participate in the final.
In the final, Spain, the European champions, defeated third-time finalists the Netherlands 10
after extra time, with Andrs Iniesta's goal in the 116th minute giving Spain their first world
title, becoming the eighth nation to win the tournament, and the first European nation to win the
tournament outside its home continent. Host nation South Africa, 2006 champions Italy and
2006 runners-up France were all eliminated in the first round of the tournament. It was the first
time that the hosts were eliminated in the first round. New Zealand with their three draws were
the only undefeated team in the tournament, but were also eliminated in the first round.

Host selection
Africa was chosen as the host for the 2010 World Cup as part of a short-lived policy, abandoned in 2007,
[5]
to rotate the event among football
confederations. Five African nations placed bids to host the 2010 World Cup: Egypt, Morocco, South Africa and a joint bid from Libya and
Tunisia.
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.
The winning bid was announced by FIFA president Sepp Blatter at a media conference on 15 May 2004 in Zrich; in the first round of voting
South Africa received 14 votes, Morocco received 10 votes and Egypt no votes. South Africa, which had narrowly failed to win the right to host
the 2006 event, was thus awarded the right to host the tournament.
[6]
Having successfully campaigned for South Africa to be granted host status,
an emotional Nelson Mandela raised the FIFA World Cup Trophy.
[7]
During 2006 and 2007, rumours circulated in various news sources that the 2010 World Cup could be moved to another country.
[8][9]
Franz
Beckenbauer, Horst R. Schmidt and, reportedly, some FIFA executives, expressed concern over the planning, organisation, and pace of South
Africa's preparations.
[8][10]
FIFA officials repeatedly expressed their confidence in South Africa as host, stating that a contingency plan existed
only to cover natural catastrophes, as had been in place at previous FIFA World Cups.
[11]
Qualification
The qualification draw for the 2010 World Cup was held in Durban on 25 November 2007. As the host nation, South Africa qualified
automatically for the tournament. As happened in the previous tournament, the defending champions were not given an automatic berth, and Italy
had to participate in qualification. With a pool of entrants comprising 204 of the 208 FIFA national teams at the time, the 2010 World Cup shares
with the 2008 Summer Olympics the record for most competing nations in a sporting event.
Some controversies took place during the qualifications. In the second leg of the play-off between France and the Republic of Ireland, French
captain Thierry Henry, unseen by the referee, handled the ball in the lead up to a late goal, which enabled France to qualify ahead of Ireland,
sparking widespread controversy and debate. FIFA rejected a request from the Football Association of Ireland to replay the match,
[12]
and Ireland
later withdrew a request to be included as an unprecedented 33rd World Cup entrant.
[13][14]
As a result, FIFA announced a review into the use of
technology or extra officials at the highest level, but decided against the widely expected fast-tracking of goal-line referee's assistants for the
South African tournament.
[15]
Costa Rica complained over Uruguay's winning goal in the CONMEBOLCONCACAF
playoff,
[16]
while Egypt and Algeria's November 2009 matches were surrounded by reports of
crowd trouble. On the subject of fair play, FIFA President Sepp Blatter said:
I appeal to all the players and coaches to observe this fair play. In 2010 we want to
prove that football is more than just kicking a ball but has social and cultural value ... So
we ask the players 'please observe fair play' so they will be an example to the rest of the
world.
[17]
Slovakia was making their first appearance as an independent nations but had previously been
represented as part of Czechoslovakia team that last played in the 1990 tournament. North
Korea qualified for the first time since 1966; Honduras and New Zealand were both making
their first appearances since 1982, and Algeria were at the finals for the first time since the
1986 competition.
Countries qualified for World Cup
Country failed to qualify
Countries that did not enter World Cup
Country not a FIFA member
Teams that failed to qualify for this tournament included Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and Croatia, all of whom had qualified for the previous three
finals; Sweden, Poland, and Ecuador, who had qualified for the previous two editions; and Euro 2008 semi-finalists Russia and Turkey.

Preparations
Five new stadiums were built for the tournament, and five of the existing venues were upgraded. Construction costs were expected to be
R8.4 billion (just over US$1 billion or 950 million).
[19]
South Africa also improved its public transport infrastructure within the host cities, including Johannesburg's Gautrain and other metro systems,
and major road networks were improved.
[20]
In March 2009, Danny Jordaan, the president of the 2010 World Cup organising committee, reported
that all stadiums for the tournament were on schedule to be completed within six months.
[21]
The country implemented special measures to ensure the safety and security of spectators in accordance with standard FIFA requirements,
[22]
including a temporary restriction of flight operation in the airspace surrounding the stadiums.
[23]
At a ceremony to mark 100 days before the event, FIFA president Sepp Blatter praised the readiness of the country for the event.
[24]
Construction strike
On 8 July 2009, 70,000 construction workers
[25]
who were working on the new stadiums walked off their jobs.
[26]
The majority of the workers
receive R2500 per month (about 192, 224 or US$313), but the unions alleged that some workers were grossly underpaid. A spokesperson for
the National Union of Mineworkers said to the SABC that the "no work no pay" strike would go on until FIFA assessed penalties on the
organisers. Other unions threatened to strike into 2011.
[27][28]
The strike was swiftly resolved and workers were back at work within a week of it
starting. There were no further strikes and all stadiums and construction projects were completed in time for the kick off.
[29]
Prize money
The total prize money on offer for the tournament was confirmed by FIFA as US$420 million (including payments of US$40 million to domestic
clubs), a 60 percent increase on the 2006 tournament.
[30]
Before the tournament, each of the 32 entrants received US$1 million for preparation
costs. Once at the tournament, the prize money was distributed as follows:
[30]
US$8 million To each team eliminated at the group stage (16 teams) ($8.65 million in 2014 US dollars
[31]
)
US$9 million To each team eliminated in the round of 16 (8 teams) ($9.73 million in 2014 US dollars
[31]
)
US$14 million To each team eliminated in the quarter-finals (4 teams) ($15.14 million in 2014 US dollars
[31]
)
US$18 million Fourth placed team ($19.47 million in 2014 US dollars
[31]
)
US$20 million Third placed team ($21.63 million in 2014 US dollars
[31]
)
US$24 million Runner up ($25.96 million in 2014 US dollars
[31]
)
US$30 million Winner ($32.44 million in 2014 US dollars
[31]
)
In a first for the World Cup, FIFA made payments to the domestic clubs of the players representing their national teams at the tournament. This
saw a total of US$40 million paid to domestic clubs. This was the result of an agreement reached in 2008 between FIFA and European clubs to
disband the G-14 group and drop their claims for compensation dating back to 2005 over the financial cost of injuries sustained to their players
while on international duty, such as that from Belgian club Charleroi S.C. for injury to Morocco's Abdelmajid Oulmers in a friendly game in 2004,
and from English club Newcastle United for an injury to England's Michael Owen in the 2006 World Cup.
[32][33][34]
Venues
In 2005, the organisers released a provisional list of 13 venues to be used for the World Cup: Bloemfontein, Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg
(two venues), Kimberley, Klerksdorp, Nelspruit, Orkney, Polokwane, Port Elizabeth, Pretoria, and Rustenburg. This was narrowed down to the
ten venues
[35]
that were officially announced by FIFA on 17 March 2006.
The altitude of several venues affected the motion of the ball
[36]
and player performance,
[37][38]
although FIFA's medical chief downplayed this
consideration.
[39]
Six of the ten venues were over 1200m above sea level, with the two Johannesburg stadiums (Soccer City and Ellis Park) the
highest at approximately 1750m.
[40][41]
The stadiums in order of altitude are: Soccer City and Ellis Park Stadium, 1753m; Royal Bafokeng
Stadium, 1500m; Free State Stadium, 1400m; Peter Mokaba Stadium, 1310m; Loftus Versfeld Stadium, 1214m; Mbombela Stadium, 660m; Cape
Town Stadium, Moses Mabhida Stadium and Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium near sea level.

Final draw
The FIFA Organising Committee approved the procedure for the final draw on 2 December 2009. The seeding was based on the October 2009
FIFA World Ranking and seven squads joined hosts South Africa as seeded teams for the final draw. No two teams from the same confederation
were to be drawn in the same group, except allowing a maximum of two European teams in a group.

The group draw was staged in Cape Town, South Africa, on 4 December 2009 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre.
[48]
The
ceremony was presented by South African actress Charlize Theron, assisted by FIFA Secretary General Jrme Valcke.
[49]
The balls were drawn
by English football star David Beckham and African sporting figures Haile Gebrselassie, John Smit, Makhaya Ntini, Matthew Booth and
Simphiwe Dludlu.
[50]
Referees
FIFA's Referees' Committee selected 29 referees through its Refereeing Assistance Programme to officiate at the World Cup: four from the AFC,
three from the CAF, six from CONMEBOL, four from CONCACAF, two from the OFC and ten from UEFA.
[51]
English referee Howard Webb
was chosen to referee the final, making him the first person to referee both the UEFA Champions League final and the World Cup final in the
same year.
[52]
Squads
As with the 2006 tournament, each team's squad for the 2010 World Cup consisted of 23 players. Each
participating national association had to confirm their final 23-player squad by 1 June 2010. Teams were
permitted to make late replacements in the event of serious injury, at any time up to 24 hours before their
first game.
[53]
Of the 736 players participating in the tournament, over half played their club football in five European
domestic leagues; those in England (117 players), Germany (84), Italy (80), Spain (59) and France (46).
[54]
The English, German and Italian squads were made up of entirely home based players, while only Nigeria
had no players from clubs in their own league. In all, players from 52 national leagues entered the
tournament. FC Barcelona of Spain was the club contributing the most players to the tournament, with 13
players of their side travelling, 7 with the Spanish team, while another 7 clubs contributed 10 players or
more.
In another first for South Africa 2010, one squad included three siblings. Jerry, Johnny and Wilson Palacios made history thanks to their inclusion
in Honduras 23-man list.
[55]
Unusually, the game between Germany and Ghana had two brothers playing for opposite nations, with Jerome
Boateng and Kevin Prince Boateng playing respectively.

Round of 16
Group stage
The first round, or group stage, saw the thirty-two teams divided into eight groups of four teams. Each group was a round-robin of six games,
where each team played one match against each of the other teams in the same group. Teams were awarded three points for a win, one point for a
draw and none for a defeat. The teams finishing first and second in each group qualified for the Round of 16.
The South American teams performed strongly, with all five advancing to the knockout stages (four as group winners), and four made the quarter-
finals (the only team from South America to not make it this far was Chile, who lost to Brazil). The overall performance of African teams on the
first occasion that the continent hosted the event was judged disappointing by observers such as Cameroon great Roger Milla.
[56]
Of the six
African nations only three won any matches (Ghana, South Africa and Ivory Coast), and only one (Ghana) progressed out of the first round. South
Africa became the first host in FIFA World Cup history to not make it out of the group stage, finishing third in Group A behind Uruguay and
Mexico, but ahead of France.
Only six out of 13 UEFA teams progressed to the last 16, a record low since the round of 16 was adopted in 1986.
[55]
Both of the finalists from the
preceding tournament, France and Italy, were eliminated in the initial stage of the competition, the first time this has happened at a World Cup (in
1934 and 1966, one of the previous finalists was eliminated in the first stage, but the other did not make the tournament).
[57]
Surprisingly, New
Zealand, a team projected by many to not attain a point in Group F, ended the tournament as the only undefeated team after drawing their three
group matches, but they finished behind Paraguay and Slovakia and were eliminated.
Tie-breaking criteria
Teams were ranked on the following criteria:
[58]
1. Greater number of points in all group
matches
2. Goal difference in all group matches
3. Greater number of goals scored in all
group matches
4. Greatest number of points in matches

The knockout stage comprised the 16 teams that advanced from the group stage of the tournament. There were four rounds of matches, with each
round eliminating half of the teams entering that round. The successive rounds were the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final.
There was also a play-off to decide third and fourth place. For each game in the knockout stage, any draw at 90 minutes was followed by thirty
minutes of extra time; if scores were still level, there was a penalty shootout to determine who progressed to the next round.

England's 41 loss to Germany was their biggest ever margin of defeat at a World Cup finals.
[60][61]
It was also the first time that a World
Cup finals match between these two traditional rivals had a decisive result in regulation time, their four previous meetings all being tied at
90 minutes, with two settled in extra time and one in a penalty shootout.
Ghana defeated the United States to become the third African team to reach the last eight (after Cameroon in 1990 and Senegal in 2002),
and the only African team to have achieved both a top 8 finish and a separate top 16 finish (in 2006).
Paraguay and Ghana reached the quarter-finals for the first time.
The round was marked by some controversial referees' decisions, including:
A disallowed goal by England in their 41 loss against Germany, where the shot by Frank Lampard was seen to cross the goal line when
shown on television broadcast replays.
An allowed goal by Argentina in their 31 win over Mexico, where Argentine striker Carlos Tevez was seen to be offside when shown on
television broadcast replays, which were shown inside the stadium shortly after the incident.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter took the unusual step of apologising to England and Mexico for the decisions that went against them, saying
"Yesterday I spoke to the two federations directly concerned by referees' mistakes [...] I apologised to England and Mexico. The English said
thank you and accepted that you can win some and you lose some and the Mexicans bowed their head and accepted it."
[62]
Blatter also promised to
re-open the discussion regarding devices which monitor possible goals and make that information immediately available to match officials, saying
"We will naturally take on board the discussion on technology and have the first opportunity in July at the business meeting."
[62]
Blatter's call
came less than four months after FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke said the door was closed on goal-line technology and video replays after a
vote by the IFAB.
[62]
Quarter-finals
The three quarter-finals between European and South American teams all resulted in wins for Europeans. Germany had a 40 victory over
Argentina, and the Netherlands came from behind to beat Brazil 21, handing the Brazilians their first loss in a World Cup match held outside
Europe (other than in a penalty shootout) since 1950 when Uruguay won the decisive match 21.
[63]
Spain reached the final four for the first time
since 1950 after a 10 win over Paraguay. Uruguay, the only South American team to reach the semi-finals, overcame Ghana in a penalty shoot-
out after a 11 draw in which Ghana missed a penalty at the end of extra time.

Semi-finals
The Netherlands qualified for the final for the third time with a 32 win over Uruguay. Spain reached their first ever final with a 10 victory over
Germany. As a result, it was the first World Cup final not to feature at least one of Brazil, Italy, Germany or Argentina.
Third-place play-off
Germany defeated Uruguay 32 to secure third place. Germany holds the record for most third place finishes in the World Cup (4), while Uruguay
holds the record for most fourth place finishes (3).
Final
The final was held on 11 July 2010 at Soccer City, Johannesburg. Spain defeated the Netherlands 10, with an extra time goal from Andrs
Iniesta. Iniesta scored the latest winning goal in a FIFA World Cup final (116').
[65]
The win gave Spain their first World Cup title, becoming the
eighth team to win it. This made them the first new winner without home advantage since Brazil in 1958,
[66]
and the first team to win the
tournament after having lost their opening game.
[55]
A large number of fouls were committed in the final match. Referee Howard Webb handed out 14 yellow cards, more than doubling the previous
record for this fixture, set when Argentina and West Germany shared six cards in 1986,
[55]
and John Heitinga of the Netherlands was sent off for
receiving a second yellow card. The Netherlands had chances to score, most notably in the 60th minute when Arjen Robben was released by
Wesley Sneijder to be one-on-one with Spain's goalkeeper Iker Casillas, only for Casillas to save the shot with an outstretched leg. For Spain,
Sergio Ramos missed a free header from a corner kick when he was unmarked.
[67]
Iniesta finally broke the deadlock in extra time, scoring a
volleyed shot from a pass by Cesc Fbregas.
[68]
This result marked the first time that two different teams from the same continent had won successive World Cups (following Italy in 2006), and
saw Europe reaching 10 World Cup titles, surpassing South America's nine titles. Spain became the first team since West Germany in 1974 to win
the World Cup as European champions. The result also marked the first time that a European nation had won a World Cup Finals that was not
hosted on European soil.
A closing ceremony was held before the final, featuring singer Shakira. Afterwards, the former South African President Nelson Mandela made a
brief appearance on the pitch, wheeled in by a motorcart.
[69]
Statistics
Goalscorers
or t e fu ist of o s orers see or u o s orers
South African winger Siphiwe Tshabalala was the first player to score a goal in the competition, in their 11 draw against Mexico, the opening
game of the tournament. Danish defender Daniel Agger was credited with the first own goal of the tournament, in his side's 20 loss to the
Netherlands. Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuan was the only player to score a hat-trick in the tournament, in Argentina's 41 win over South
Korea. It was the 49th World Cup hat-trick in the history of the tournament.
Spain set a new record for the fewest goals scored by a World Cup-winning team, with eight.
[67]
The previous record low was 11, set by Brazil in
1994, England in 1966,
[67]
and Italy in 1938.
[70]
Spain had the fewest goalscorers for a champion as well (three Villa with five goals, Iniesta with
two and Puyol with one).
[55]
They also had the fewest goals conceded for a champion (2), equal with Italy (2006) and France (1998). Spain's
victory marked the first time that a team won the World Cup without conceding a goal in the knockout stage.
[65]
The four top scorers in the tournament had five goals each. All of the four top scorers also came from the teams that finished in the top four,
Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, and Uruguay. The Golden Boot went to Thomas Mller of Germany who had three assists, compared to one for
the three others. The Silver Boot went to David Villa of Spain, who played a total of 635 minutes, and the Bronze Boot to Wesley Sneijder of the
Netherlands, who played 652 minutes. Diego Forln of Uruguay had five goals and one assist in 654 minutes. A further three players scored four
goals.
[71]
Only 145 goals were scored at South Africa 2010, the lowest of any FIFA World Cup since the tournament switched to a 64-game format. This
continued a downward trend since the first 64-game finals were held 12 years earlier, with 171 goals at France 1998, 161 at Korea/Japan 2002 and
147 at Germany 2006.
[55]
Discipline
28 players were suspended after being shown two consecutive yellow cards (13 players), a single red card (8 players), or a yellow card followed
by a red card (7 players).

Symbols
Mascot
The official mascot for the 2010 World Cup was umi, an anthropomorphised African leopard with green hair,
presented on 22 September 2008. His name came from "ZA" (the international abbreviation for South Africa) and
the term umi, which means "ten" in various African languages.
[78]
The mascot's colours reflected those of the host
nation's playing strip yellow and green.
Official song
The official song of the 2010 World Cup "Waka Waka" was performed by the Colombian singer Shakira and the
band Freshlyground from South Africa, and is sung in both English and Spanish.
[79]
The song is based on a
traditional African soldiers' song, "Zangalewa".
[80]
Shakira and Freshlyground performed the song at the pre-
tournament concert in Soweto on 10 June. It was also sung at the opening ceremony on 11 June and at the closing
ceremony on 11 July. The official anthem of the 2010 World Cup was "Sign of a Victory" by R. Kelly with the
Soweto Spiritual Singers, which was also performed at the opening ceremony.
Match ball
The match ball for the 2010 World Cup, manufactured by Adidas, is named the u ni, which means rin in o to e er one in Zulu. It is
the eleventh World Cup match ball made by the German sports equipment maker; it features eleven colours, representing each player of a team on
the pitch and the eleven official languages of South Africa.
[81][82]
A special match ball with gold panels, called the o u ni, was used at the final
in Johannesburg.
The ball is constructed using a new design, consisting of eight thermally bonded, three-dimensional panels. These are spherically moulded from
ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU). The surface of the ball is textured with grooves, a technology developed by
Adidas called GripnGroove
[83]
that is intended to improve the ball's aerodynamics. The design has received considerable academic input, being
developed in partnership with researchers from Loughborough University, United Kingdom.
[84]
The balls are made in China, using latex bladders
made in India, thermoplastic polyurethane-elastomer from Taiwan, ethylene vinyl acetate, isotropic polyester/cotton fabric, and glue and ink from
China.
[85]
Some football stars have complained about the new ball, arguing that its movements are difficult to predict.
[86]
Brazilian goalkeeper Jlio Csar
compared it to a "supermarket" ball that favored strikers and worked against goalkeepers.
[87]
Argentinian coach Diego Maradona said "We won't
see any long passes in this World Cup because the ball doesn't fly straight."
[88]
However, a number of Adidas-sponsored
[89][90][91][92]
players have
responded favourably to the ball.
Vuvuzelas
The 2010 finals amplified international public awareness of the vuvuzela, a long horn blown by fans
throughout matches.
[93][94][95][96]
Many World Cup competitors complained about the noise caused by the
vuvuzela horns, including France's Patrice Evra, who blamed the horns for the team's poor performance.
[97]
Other critics include Lionel Messi, who complained that the sound of the vuvuzelas hampers communication
among players on the pitch,
[98]
and broadcasting companies, which complained that commentators' voices
were being drowned out by the sound.
[99]
Others watching on television complained that the ambient audio feed from the stadium only contains the
sounds of the vuvuzelas and the natural sounds of people in the stands are drowned out.
[100][101]
A
spokesperson for ESPN and other networks said that they were taking steps to minimise the ambient noise on their broadcasts.
[102]
The BBC also
investigated the possibility of offering broadcasts without vuvuzela noise.
[103]
Event effects
Social
Tournament organiser Danny Jordaan dismissed concerns that the attack on the Togo national team which
took place in Angola in January 2010, had any relevance to the security arrangements for the World Cup.
[104]
There were also reports of thefts against visitors to the country for the World Cup. Tourists from
China, Portugal, Spain, South Korea, Japan and Colombia had become victims of crime.
[105]

shortly after Prince William and Prince Harry had left the room. The trespasser was then released before he
could be handed over to the Police. English FA lodged a formal complaint with FIFA and demanded that
security be increased.
[106]
Resettlement and eviction
As with many 'hallmark events' throughout the world,
[107]
the 2010 FIFA World Cup has been connected to
evictions,
[108][109][110][111][112]
which many claim are meant to 'beautify the city', impress visiting tourists,
and hide shackdwellers. On 14 May 2009, the Durban-based shack-dwellers' movement Abahlali
baseMjondolo took the KwaZulu-Natal government to court over their controversial Elimination and
Prevention of Re-Emergence of Slums Act, meant to eliminate slums in South Africa and put homeless
shackdwellers in transit camps in time for the 2010 World Cup.
[113][114]
Another prominent controversy surrounding preparations for the World Cup was the N2 Gateway housing
project in Cape Town, which planned to remove over 20,000 residents from the Joe Slovo Informal
Settlement along the busy N2 Freeway and build rental flats and bond-houses in its place in time for the
2010 World Cup.
[115]
NGOs, international human rights organisations, and the Anti-Eviction Campaign
have publicly criticised the conditions in Blikkiesdorp and said that the camp has been used to
accommodate poor families evicted to make way for the 2010 World Cup.
[112][116][117][118]
However some have argued that evictions are ordinarily common in South Africa and that in the lead up to
the tournament many evictions were erreonously ascribed to the World Cup.
[119]
Economy
Some groups experienced complications in regards to scheduled sporting events, advertising, or broadcasting, as FIFA attempted to maximise
control of media rights during the Cup. Affected parties included an international rugby union Test match, a South African airline, and some TV
networks, all of whom were involved in various legal struggles with World Cup organisers.
[120][121][122]
During the tournament, group ticket-holders who did not utilise all their allotted tickets led to some early-round matches having as many as 11,000
unoccupied seats.
[123]
While the event did help to boost the image of South Africa, financially it turned out to be a major disappointment.
[124]
Construction costs for
venues and infrastructure amounted to 3 billion (3.6 billion), and the government expected that increased tourism would help to offset these
costs to the amount of 570 million (680 million). However, only 323 million (385 million) were actually taken in as 309,000 foreign fans
came to South Africa, well below the expected number of 450,000.
[124]
Local vendors were prohibited from selling food and merchandise within a 1.5 kilometre radius of any stadium hosting a World Cup match. For a
vendor to operate within the radius, a registration fee of R60,000 (approximately to US$7,888 or 6,200), had to be paid to FIFA. This fee was out
of most local vendors' reach, as they are simple one-man-operated vendors. This prevented international visitors from experiencing local South
African food. Some local vendors felt cheated out of an opportunity for financial gain and spreading South African culture, in favour of
multinational corporations.
[125]
FIFA president Sepp Blatter declared the event "a huge financial success for everybody, for Africa, for South Africa and for FIFA," with revenue
to FIFA of 2.24 billion (2 billion).
[126]
Quality
In a December 2010 u it ro ress, FIFA President Blatter rated South Africa's organisational efforts a nine out of 10 scale, declaring that
South Africa could be considered a plan B for all future competitions. The South African Quality Institute (SAQI) assisted in facility construction,
event promotion, and organisations. The main issue listed in the article was transportation.
[127]
Media
Broadcasting
The 2010 FIFA World Cup was expected to be the most-watched television event in history.
[128]
Hundreds of
broadcasters, representing about 70 countries, transmitted the Cup to a TV audience that FIFA officials expect
to exceed a cumulative 26 billion people, an average of approximately 400 million viewers per match. FIFA
estimated that around 700 million viewers would watch the World Cup final.
[129]
New forms of digital media have also allowed viewers to watch coverage through alternative means. "With
games airing live on cell phones and computers, the World Cup will get more online coverage than any major
sporting event yet," said Jake Coyle of the Associated Press.
[130]
In the United States, ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 averaged a 2.1 rating, 2,288,000 households and 3,261,000
viewers for the 64 World Cup games. The rating was up 31 percent from a 1.6 in 2006, while households
increased 32 percent from 1,735,000 and viewers rose from 2,316,000. The increases had been higher while
the US remained in the tournament. Through the first 50 games, the rating was up 48 percent, households increased 54 percent and viewers rose
60 percent. Univision averaged 2,624,000 viewers for the tournament, up 17 percent, and 1,625,000 households, an increase of 11 percent.
[131]
An
executive of the Nielsen Company, a leading audience research firm in the US, described the aggregate numbers for both networks' coverage of
the USA-Ghana match as "phenomenal".
[132]
Live World Cup streaming on ESPN3.com pulled in some of the largest audiences in history, as 7.4
million unique viewers tuned in for matches. In total, ESPN3.com generated 942 million minutes of viewing or more than two hours per unique
viewer. All 64 live matches were viewed by an average of 114,000 persons per minute. Most impressive were the numbers for the semi-final
between Spain and Germany, which was viewed by 355,000 people per minute, making it ESPN3.coms largest average audience ever.
[133]
Filming
Sony technology was used to film the tournament. 25 of the matches were captured using 3D cameras.
[134]
Footage was captured in 3D through
Sony's proprietary multi-image MPE-200 processors, housed in specially designed 3D outside broadcast trucks.
[135]
It supplied its flagship HDC-
1500 cameras as well as its new HDC-P1 unit, a compact, point-of-view (POV)-type camera with 3, 2/3-inch CCD sensors.
[136]
The 3D games
were produced for FIFA by Host Broadcast Services.
[137]
Video games
In PlayStation Home, Sony has released a virtual space based on the 2010 FIFA World Cup in the Japanese version of Home on 3 December
2009. This virtual space is called the "FevaArena" and is a virtual stadium of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, featuring different areas for events, a
FIFA mini-game, and a shop with FIFA related content.
[138]
On 27 April 2010, EA Sports released the official 2010 World Cup video game.
[139]
FIFA Fan Fest
FIFA expanded the FIFA Fan Fest, hosting in Sydney, Buenos Aires, Berlin, Paris, Rome, Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City, as well as several
venues around South Africa.
[140]
The Durban Fan Fest was the most popular in South Africa during the tournament followed by the Cape Town
Fan Fest.
