The general public in Egypt is very passionate about football and spontaneously show their joy at the prospect of hosting the 2010 FIFA World Cup. It is largely for this reason - added to the wealth of history, culture and tourism in the country and the strong backing given by the Government to the bid - that the Inspection Group believes there is potential for an excellent World Cup to be staged in Egypt.

Despite the fact that at the time of our visit the country lacked stadiums suitable for an event of such magnitude and that we found a number of inconsistencies between the bidding file and what was actually presented during the inspection, we have come to the conclusion that Egypt is capable of organising a very good World Cup.

Executive Summary:
The Inspection Group takes the view that Libya would face great difficulties in organising a World Cup to the standards required, despite the spontaneous enthusiasm of the people, the commitment of the association and the huge financial resources available for construction of sports arenas.

The Inspection Group has summarised the obstacles as follows: lack of experience in organising international sports events, insufficient time to prepare the various cities in the country to welcome a World Cup, the enormous difficulties facing fans from around the world in finding accommodation, entertainment and leisure during their stay and, finally, the support from the authorities for a multi co-hosting World Cup in Africa.

Executive Summary:
Morocco conducted excellent promotion and presentation of the bid, in their 4th campaign. Furthermore, the 2010 FIFA World Cup is part of a new national development strategy, called Vision 2010, with a Government completely dedicated to this plan.

The project to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup presented to the group was clear, detailed and stable, proving its reliability. The presentation of the budget was outstanding. Furthermore there is a strong backing from the Government for the bid. The people are enthusiastic about football, showing their joy at the prospect of hosting the World Cup in a modest way.

Despite the very poor involvement of the Association in the bidding and the actual lack of football infrastructure, the Inspection Group's opinion is that Morocco has the potential to organise a very good World Cup. However, we do have some concern that three stadiums presented to the 2006 Inspection Group in February 2000 as under construction have not been realised at all.

Executive Summary:
If the World Cup is granted to South Africa, it will generate significant unity among the different ethnic groups that were separated socially, culturally and in sport for years. In addition, South Africa has a number of world class cultural and tourist attractions.

The project to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup presented to the Inspection Group, based on an excellent overall infrastructure, was clear, detailed and stable, proving its reliability. Furthermore, there is a strong backing for the bid from the Government. The population is very enthusiastic about football, spontaneously showing their joy at the prospect of hosting the World Cup.

Despite questions about security in the country, the legacy compared to the investment needed will be a great contribution to the country. The Inspection Group's opinion is that South Africa has the potential to organise an excellent World Cup.
