| 2 March 2010: Gear up for the 100 Day Countdown to the 2010 World CupThree million tickets. 64 matches. 32 teams. Approximately 450 000 international visitors. A global television audience of more than 26 billion viewers cumulatively. 48 million proud Bafana Bafana supporters. And billions of rands spent on improving South Africa for the long term beyond the World Cup. This is the spectacle that will greet the world on 11 June 2010 – more than six years after South Africa was chosen as hosts, bringing the largest sporting event in the world to the African continent for the first time. On Tuesday, 2 March, this celebration of football and of Africa’s humanity will be just 100 days away. What will you do on 2 March to mark this important landmark for the country and the international football community? Ensure that 2 March is celebrated with all the passion and vibrancy that the world associates with this young, dynamic country. 2 March is therefore earmarked as a day on which South Africans, here and abroad, are called upon to demonstrate their excitement for the tournament, and to display their passion for the country and the beautiful game. It is also a day for previewing how we will open our hearts and homes to the hundreds of thousands of visitors who will soon be driving, flying and sailing to this diverse, scenic and rapidly developing destination at the southern tip of the African continent. From flying the flag and donning Bafana Bafana kit, to feasting on homegrown meals and music, 2 March is a celebration of what the country has already achieved in preparing for the tournament, and a chance to get our hearts and minds into the spirit of the FIFA World Cup. So, what can you do on 2 March?

Japanese National Football Association president Motoaki Inukai made the announcement on a whirlwind trip to George after attending Japan’s friendly match against Bafana Bafana in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.
“Team coach Takeshi Okada chose George because of its safe and beautiful environment, which will enable players to concentrate on practising for their matches,” he said.
Inukai was “honestly surprised” by his impressions of South Africa, which was portrayed in the Japanese media as unsafe.
“I know now why he (Okada) liked George on his first site visit. It is very different from the image we had before we came here.”
Eden District Mayor Leon Dorfling, who is championing Eden’s involvement in 2010, told Inukai Eden would not compromise on the safety of visitors.
“This announcement is music to our ears. Eden and George municipalities are very proud to host Mr Inukai here today and we want to assure him that the Garden Route has excellent infrastructure in a very safe environment. We are also not compromising on safety and security,” he said.
The district was working closely with national and provincial government and other role players to integrate public safety plans for the World Cup.
Eden acting municipal manager and 2010 manager Morne Hoogbaard said Inukai’s announcement was the culmination of a very committed approach by the Eden 2010 team to ensure that the district benefited from the World Cup.
Hoogbaard said Eden was the first district in the country to commit significant resources towards positioning the region as a destination of choice for teams and fans.
“The Japanese soccer team is known to travel with a large following of about 22000 supporters, and although not all of them will stay in Eden, this will leave a long-term legacy for business and tourism,” he said.
George mayor Flip de Swardt said it would be an honour to host the team.
