The '''2010 FIFA World Cup''' will be the 19th [[FIFA World Cup]], an international tournament for [[Association football|football]], that is scheduled to take place between [[11 June]] and [[11 July]] [[2010]] in [[South Africa]]. It will be the first time that the tournament has been hosted by a nation in the [[Confederation of African Football]], leaving the [[Oceania Football Confederation]] as the only FIFA Confederation never to have hosted the event.
{{otheruses4|the computer game|other uses|Blitzkrieg (disambiguation)}}


==Host selection==
'''''Blitzkrieg''''' is a [[real-time tactics]] [[computer game]] based on the events of World War II. The game allows players to assume the role of commanding officer during the battles of [[World War II]] that occurred in [[Europe]] and [[North Africa]]. Each country has its respective historically correct military units. Similar to the [[Sudden Strike]] games Blitzkrieg focuses on battles rather than [[real-time strategy]] aspects like base building.
{{main|FIFA World Cup hosts}}
Africa 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). Five African nations placed bids to host the 2010 World Cup:
*{{EGY}}
*{{LBY}} / {{TUN}} (co-hosting)
*{{MAR}}
*{{RSA}}


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.
This game, and several sequels, all use the [[Starforce]] copy protection system. Blitzkrieg Anthology does not appear to use Starforce.


After one round of voting, the winning bid was announced by FIFA president [[Sepp Blatter]] at a media conference on [[15 May]] [[2004]] in [[Zurich]]. South Africa was awarded the rights to host the tournament, defeating Morocco and Egypt.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fifa.com/en/media/index/0,1369,101476,00.html |title=Host nation of 2010 FIFA World Cup - South Africa |date=[[2004-05-15]] |publisher=[[FIFA]] |accessdate=2006-01-08 }}</ref>
[[Graphics]] deliver realistic 3-D rendered [[isometric]] terrain and details include seasons, climatic zones and weather conditions which can affect game play. Blood is present although it can be deactivated. The game features over 350 different units and objects. The player has the ability to build pontoon bridges, dig trenches, lay mines, resupply and repair units or call in air support but there are no resources. Virtually everything can be destroyed including buildings and bridges. Forests can be flattened by tanks or artillery. Each unit of a respective nation speaks its own language, adding immensely to the immersion.


Results:
The game shipped with a mission and resource editors for users to create their own units and maps.

{{LBY}} ''bid was rejected: bid did not meet the list of requirements and joint bidding was not allowed''
==Gameplay==


==Qualification==
Blitzkrieg centers on 3 distinctive campaigns which features some of the major factions battling it out in World War II. The 3 campaigns featured the Allies (American and British campaigns), the Germans and the Soviets. Each of these campaigns attempt to chronologically re-enact the time periods of the war by devising Chapters into each of the campaigns.
{{main|2010 FIFA World Cup qualification}}


As the host nation, [[South Africa national football team|South Africa]] qualifies automatically for the tournament. However, South Africa is the first host since 1934 to participate in World Cup qualifiers. This is because the [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF)|CAF qualifiers]] will also serve as the qualifying tournament for the [[2010 African Cup of Nations]], for which South Africa must qualify separately. Like the previous tournament, the defending champions [[Italy national football team|Italy]] do not qualify automatically.
These Chapters, in turn, feature smaller scale random (i.e fictional) and historical battles. Random maps present an opportunity for the player to win upgrades for his side as depicted in the map description. Depending on the random map selected, the player may potentially bolster his forces with either artillery units or armored units.


The preliminary draw for the 2010 World Cup was held in [[Durban, South Africa]], on [[25 November]] [[2007]].
Each player start with 'core units'. These units would be the same personnel accompanying the player throughout the chosen Campaign and may gain rank and experience as the player progresses from one Chapter to the other. The player initially starts off with 3 armored core units and 3 artillery core units and would eventually gain command of six core units of each category in later Chapters. Core units gaining rank would perform better in combat, with artillery personnel being more accurate in their shots and tank crews doing likewise.


The Final draw for the 2010 FIFA World Cup will be staged in [[Cape Town]], South Africa, in December 2009 at the [[Cape Town International Convention Centre]].

In October 2007 Hamburg-based [http://www.laplatastudios.de/laplata/ La Plata Studios] (developers of the Burning Horizon, Rolling Thunder and Green Devils titles) announced that [http://www.panzerkrieg.net/ Burning Horizon II] would be released during 2008. Initial details are few and far between but, as the project is being produced in conjunction with the head of the original Blitzkrieg team, it is likely to be more than a standard expansion or stand-alone title. "...a grand, large and impressive Blitzkrieg 1 masterpiece" was how it was worded in the original La Plata announcement.

==Preparations==
{{future infrastructure}}
Five new stadiums are to be built for the tournament (three new match venues and two new practice grounds), and five of the existing venues are to be upgraded. Construction costs are expected to be R8.4bn.<ref>{{cite news | title=SA faces R8.4bn stadium bill | date=[[2006-10-01]] | work=[[News24]] | url=http://www.news24.com/News24/Sport/Soccer/0,,2-9-840_2006517,00.html | accessdate=2006-10-13}}</ref>
[[Image:WorldCup2010poster.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The official 2010 FIFA World Cup poster.]]
In addition to the stadiums being built and upgraded, South Africa is also planning to improve its current [[public transport]] infrastructure within the various cities, with projects such as the [[Gautrain]] and the new Bus Rapid Transit system (BRT) titled Rea Vaya.<ref>{{engineering news | http://www.engineeringnews.co.za/article.php?a_id=119725}}</ref>

The country is also going to implement special measures to ensure the safety and security of local and international tourists attending the matches in accordance with standard FIFA requirements.<ref>{{cite news | title=2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Special Measures Act, 2006 | work=Republic of South Africa, Minister of Sport and Recreation - Online Government Gazette No. 28593 | date=[[2006-03-10]] | url=http://www.info.gov.za/gazette/bills/2006/b13-06.pdf | accessdate=2006-10-13}}</ref>

==Controversies==
According to an article in ''Le Monde diplomatique'', "More than $8bn has been budgeted for the building and upgrading of infrastructure for the football World Cup in 2010, including 10 stadiums and a high-speed train... But almost none of the building or the money can be accessed by the poor who live in shantytowns without proper water, sanitation or electricity."<ref>[http://mondediplo.com/2008/05/13southafrica Le Monde Diplomatique]</ref>

==Schedule==
''All times are [[South African Standard Time]] ([[UTC+2]]).''

===Group stage tiebreakers===
In world football, there are various methods used to separate teams with equal points in a league. For the World Cup tournament, FIFA uses the following system.<ref name="2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa - Regulations">{{cite web |url=http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/fifa_wc_south_africa_2010_regulations_en_14123.pdf |title=Fifa World Cup South Africa 2010 Regulations - Article 17.6 |date=[[2007-07]] |publisher=[[FIFA]] }}</ref>

'''''The ranking in each group is determined as follows:'''''

a) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;

b) goal difference in all group matches;

c) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.

'''If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings will be determined as follows:'''

d) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between
the teams concerned;

e) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the
teams concerned;

f) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the
teams concerned;

g) drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.

===Group stage===
In the following tables:
*'''Pld''' = total games played
*'''W''' = total games won
*'''D''' = total games drawn (tied)
*'''L''' = total games lost
*'''GF''' = total goals scored (goals for)
*'''GA''' = total goals conceded (goals against)
*'''GD''' = goal difference (GF&minus;GA)
*'''Pts''' = total points accumulated

The teams placed first and second (shaded in green) qualified to the round of 16.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the 19th FIFA World Cup, an international tournament for football, that is scheduled to take place between 11 June and 11 July 2010 in South Africa. It will be the first time that the tournament has been hosted by a nation in the Confederation of African Football, leaving the Oceania Football Confederation as the only FIFA Confederation never to have hosted the event.

Host selection

Main article: FIFA World Cup hosts

Africa 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). Five African nations placed bids to host the 2010 World Cup:

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.

After one round of voting, the winning bid was announced by FIFA president Sepp Blatter at a media conference on 15 May 2004 in Zurich. South Africa was awarded the rights to host the tournament, defeating Morocco and Egypt.[1]

Results:

  1.  South Africa, 14 votes
  2.  Morocco, 10 votes
  3.  Egypt, 0 votes

 Tunisia withdrew on 8 May 2004 after joint bidding was not allowed

 Libya bid was rejected: bid did not meet the list of requirements and joint bidding was not allowed

Qualification

Main article: 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification

As the host nation, South Africa qualifies automatically for the tournament. However, South Africa is the first host since 1934 to participate in World Cup qualifiers. This is because the CAF qualifiers will also serve as the qualifying tournament for the 2010 African Cup of Nations, for which South Africa must qualify separately. Like the previous tournament, the defending champions Italy do not qualify automatically.

The preliminary draw for the 2010 World Cup was held in Durban, South Africa, on 25 November 2007.

The Final draw for the 2010 FIFA World Cup will be staged in Cape Town, South Africa, in December 2009 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre.

Qualified teams

Mascot

Zakumi, the mascot of the 2010 FIFA World Cup

The official mascot for the 2010 FIFA World Cup is Zakumi, a leopard with green dreadlocks. His name comes from "ZA", the international abbreviation for South Africa, and "kumi", a word that means "ten" in various African languages.[2]

Venues

In 2005, the organizers released a provisional list of thirteen venues to be used for the World Cup: Bloemfontein, Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg (two venues), Kimberley, Nelspruit, Orkney, Polokwane, Port Elizabeth, Pretoria (two venues), and Rustenburg. This was narrowed down to ten venues[3] which were officially announced on 17 March, 2006 by FIFA:

City Stadium Capacity
Johannesburg Soccer City (being upgraded) 94 700
Durban Moses Mabhida Stadium (being constructed at site of demolished Kings Park Soccer Stadium) 70 000
Cape Town Greenpoint Stadium (being constructed at site of Metropolitan Golf Course) 70 000
Johannesburg Ellis Park Stadium (being upgraded) 62 567
Pretoria Loftus Versfeld Stadium (being upgraded) 50 000
Port Elizabeth Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium (under construction) 48 000
Bloemfontein Free State Stadium (being upgraded) 48 000
Nelspruit Mbombela Stadium (under construction) 46 000
Polokwane Peter Mokaba Stadium (being constructed adjacent to existing Peter Mokaba Stadium) 46 000
Rustenburg Royal Bafokeng Stadium (being upgraded) 42 000

Preparations

Template:Future infrastructure Five new stadiums are to be built for the tournament (three new match venues and two new practice grounds), and five of the existing venues are to be upgraded. Construction costs are expected to be R8.4bn.[4]

In addition to the stadiums being built and upgraded, South Africa is also planning to improve its current public transport infrastructure within the various cities, with projects such as the Gautrain and the new Bus Rapid Transit system (BRT) titled Rea Vaya.[5]

The country is also going to implement special measures to ensure the safety and security of local and international tourists attending the matches in accordance with standard FIFA requirements.[6]

Rumours of tournament being moved

Rumours have circulated in various news sources that the 2010 World Cup could be moved to another country.[7][8] Some people, including Franz Beckenbauer, Horst R. Schmidt and, reportedly, some FIFA executives, have expressed concern over the planning, organisation, and pace of South Africa’s preparations.[9][7] However, FIFA officials have repeatedly expressed their confidence in South Africa as host, and have stated that the event will not be moved, with FIFA president Sepp Blatter re-iterating that "Plan A... Plan B... Plan C is that the 2010 World Cup will be staged in South Africa".[10][11] Blatter has stated that there is a contingency plan to hold the World Cup elsewhere but only in the event of a natural catastrophe, and that the 2006 World Cup in Germany also had a similar contingency plan.[12][11][13]

Recently, Japan was named as one of the three potential back up hosts. <http://mdn.mainichi.jp/mdnnews/national/news/20080912p2a00m0na014000c.html?inb=rs>

Despite reassurances by FIFA that the event would only be moved in the case of natural catastrophe, rumours continue to circulate about possible relocation of the event.[14] These rumours have been criticised by South Africa's Deputy Finance Minister Jabu Moleketi, saying that some have targeted the event to reflect their persistent negativity towards South Africa and Africa.[15]

Controversies

According to an article in Le Monde diplomatique, "More than $8bn has been budgeted for the building and upgrading of infrastructure for the football World Cup in 2010, including 10 stadiums and a high-speed train... But almost none of the building or the money can be accessed by the poor who live in shantytowns without proper water, sanitation or electricity."[16]

Schedule

All times are South African Standard Time (UTC+2).

Group stage tiebreakers

In world football, there are various methods used to separate teams with equal points in a league. For the World Cup tournament, FIFA uses the following system.[17]

The ranking in each group is determined as follows:

a) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;

b) goal difference in all group matches;

c) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.

If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings will be determined as follows:

d) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;

e) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;

f) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;

g) drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.

Group stage

In the following tables:

  • Pld = total games played
  • W = total games won
  • D = total games drawn (tied)
  • L = total games lost
  • GF = total goals scored (goals for)
  • GA = total goals conceded (goals against)
  • GD = goal difference (GF−GA)
  • Pts = total points accumulated

The teams placed first and second (shaded in green) qualified to the round of 16.
