The Final Draw for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ took place in Cape Town on 4 December before an audience including South African President Jacob Zuma, FIFA President Joseph Blatter, football stars past and present and broadcasters from around the world. By the end of the event the first 48 matches of the tournament had been determined, allowing coaches to start thinking about tactics, fans to make their travel arrangements and Host Broadcast Services to begin the most difficult part of its four-year (and then some) undertaking.

Hosts South Africa will face Mexico in the opening match of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ which will take place on Friday 11 June at the Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg. The final match will take place exactly one month later on Sunday 11 July, again at the Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg.
