The 2010 FIFA World Cup was hosted in South Africa, with 32 qualifying countries including the hosts.

7. The FIFA World Cup in 2010 was hosted by South Africa. All
the best nations battle out for World Football’s Ultimate Prize –
the World Cup. 32 countries qualified for the tournament and
these 32 countries are: Australia, Japan, North Korea, South Korea,
Algeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa

States, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, New Zealand,

surname: SHABALALA) was the first player to score a goal
in the competition, in their 1–1 draw against Mexico, the
opening game of the tournament. However, South Africa
became the first host nation to get knocked out in the
Group Stages. Boo Hoo!
