The 2010 FIFA World Cup Organizing Committee South Africa (OC) would like to welcome the national team of England, who arrived in the country this morning (3rd June) for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
“It’s a great privilege to be able to welcome England to our shores. England are one of the teams with a great FIFA World Cup tradition, with fanatical support wherever they play and at the World Cup in particular. Tickets for England matches have proved to be very popular and the Three Lions’ participation in the tournament is sure to add a great deal to the character of the event,” said Chief Executive Officer of the OC, Dr Danny Jordaan.
“I am very pleased to be here and my team is happy to finally be in South Africa. I hope this World Cup in South Africa is good for this country and of course for England. We now have to concentrate on the tournament and prepare well for the event,” said England coach, Mr. Fabio Capello, on his arrival at Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport this morning.
England will open their 2010 World Cup campaign at Rustenburg’s Royal Bafokeng Stadium against the United States on 12th June, before making the trip to Cape Town to face Algeria on 18 June and their final Group Match will be against Slovenia in Nelson Mandela Bay/Port Elizabeth on 23 June.
