The venues were approved by FIFA's executive committee at a meeting on the 17th March 2006 after being proposed by the South African local organising committee (SALCO). The early announcement of the venues is intended to help the cities which will now be able to learn from their German counterparts at this year's tournament.

Stadium names
South Africa's sport stadiums have to change their names for the 2009 Confederations Cup and Soccer World Cup 2010 to accommodate Fifa's chosen sponsors (no advertisers, except Fifa's accredited brands, are permitted to display their advertising for the duration of the Soccer World Cup and Confederations Cup).
There is confusion as to whether rugby matches will be forced to take place in stadiums under the new names, as the World Cup extends for a period of one year, from the start of the Confederations Cup in 2009 to the end of the Soccer World Cup final in 2010.
