Host selection

----------------------------------------
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:

    *  Egypt
    *  Libya /  Tunisia (co-hosting)
    *  Morocco
    *  South Africa
 
 
Qualification: 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification

 South Africa qualifies automatically for the tournament as the host nation. However, South Africa did participate in World Cup qualifiers because the CAF qualifiers also serve as the qualifying tournament for the 2010 African Cup of Nations. They were the first host since 1934 to participate in preliminary qualifying.
The qualification draw for the 2010 World Cup was held in Durban, South Africa, on 25 November 2007.
