World Cup 2010 South Africa will be the biggest football event that has ever happened in the continent of Africa. It is an event that has long been anticipated for. Thanks to South Africa (the most developed nation is Africa) and their hard work, the international community could no longer capitalize on the issue of less infrastructure in Africa.
Africans love soccer as it is said of the Brazilians, But for the late invitation offered the continent to take part in world cup tournaments and the less number of teams so far, this has partially been the reason behind their poor performances at the world tournaments. Africans had been hoping to host the events as the privileged of playing on home ground would definitely have an additive effect on their performances.
As Africans are celebrating for the opportunity given them, the world football body FIFA is wondering on how make up for the expenses they have endured and how to keep up the moral of the game in the various stadia. European nations support soccer both morally and financially because of their comfortable financial situation. They buy the tickets no matter how expensive they are and fill up the sits thereby portraying the importance of the game in the eyes of the world. On the contrary, the African nations are less privileged with a far less financial stand compared to Europe and the rest of the world. This is a call for concern since less Africans will afford to pay for the world cup tickets and this may put the financial situation at stake and more importantly the usefulness or moral of the game. If the tickets are not purchased, the sits in the stadia will not be occupied and hence low morale.
FIFA is going extra mile to do what she never thought she could do by selling world cup tickets in supermarkets contrary to online purchase or obtaining tickets directly from the bank. The lack of complete access to the internet in most African countries has been a road block for FIFI to eventually sell the number of tickets they anticipated for.
Therefore, as Africans are celebrating, for finally hosting the world, FIFA is busy completing assignments she would never do if the tournament was hosted in Europe or the developed world.
