Activity flow
[1] As FIFA stipulates that the World Cup will be hosted by African countries, the five countries that bid for the right to host the 20 10 World Cup are all African countries, namely, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, South Africa and Tunisia.
On May 8, 2004, Tunisia announced that it would give up its bid for the World Cup because it could not co-host the World Cup with Libya. On May 5, 2004, at the FIFA Executive Committee meeting held in Zurich, Switzerland, South Africa beat Morocco by 14 to 10, and won the right to host the 20 10 World Cup, becoming the host country of 16 World Cup, while Egypt failed to win a single vote. Because Libya only wants to co-host the World Cup with Tunisia, it will not be held separately. Libya has also indicated that Israelis are not allowed to participate in the World Cup, so it is disqualified. [2]
