Introduction

The right to host the 2010 World Cup brings to South Africa a unique opportunity that extends well beyond football.

The 2010 Tournament itself is FIFA’s event and there are many obligations South Africa must perform on FIFA’s behalf. But there is also much that we can do that will benefit our nation in further ways. Government’s efforts therefore will go well beyond showcasing South Africa as a soccer nation, and into a whole range of legacy projects

Amongst the key areas of work in building this legacy well beyond 2010, is a campaign that Government is coordinating for the Greening of South Africa for 2010 and beyond.
