On the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa
When I became president in 1998, my greatest goal was to see the FIFA World Cup played in Africa. It would never have been possible without our rotation policy. It’s taken a long time, but ultimately it means justice for Africa, and for everything Africa has done for football in the past. This FIFA World Cup will be a success. However, no-one can guarantee that everything will be perfect. We also want the World Cup to leave a lasting legacy in Africa. Our priority is the fight against poverty, illiteracy, and health care problems, which we’re tackling with our “Football for Hope” initiative, the “20 Centres for 2010” which we’re constructing in Africa, and the “1GOAL: education for all” campaign.
