Five new stadiums will be built for the event, while five of the existing venues will be renovated. South Africa is also planning to improve its public transport system and implement special security measures to ensure the safety of the participants.
To much of the locals’ delight, many of them will be able to get directly involved in the organization of the World Cup.
