South Africa is a country that is a member of FIFA. As such it can try to qualify for the World Cup Finals and host it. In 2010 they hosted it and so had automatic qualification to play in the finals tournament. They also qualified in 1998 and 2002. So they have played in the finals tournament 3 times. Prior to 2010, no African country had ever hosted the World Cup. It had been decided in 2007 that an African country would host it. Egypt, Morocco, South Africa and a joint bid from Libya and Tunisia were made for the 2010 World Cup, and South Africa were awarded the tournament.
