KEY National issues• Govt. shoulder key responsibility- promises and guarantees- WILL thus take greater

responsibilty• SAFA has a 4 person preparatory committee that interacts with a 10 person ministerial

committee • By February 2005, SA will have a Local Organising Committee (SAFA to do it with govt.

as a major stake-holder unlike Germany)• Opportunity to relook legacy issues (political decision…….communities AND soccer

MUST benefit unlike CWC and RWC) – In Sept 2005, final decision where stadia to be built/upgraded and in which cities.

• 30 June 2008 Cities must comply-FIFA WILL come and inspect• FIFA will accept 10 stadia (8 is the minimum), presently in Bid Book 13.

• NOTE: – We should be careful about building new stadia- to be mindful about tax-payers’

money– It is FIFA’s World Cup & they will indicate what qualifies– Japan/Korea will mothball 7 stadia
