The 2010 FIFA World Cup Organising Committee South Africa has congratulated Brazil on being the first South American country to qualify for the tournament in South Africa next year.

A statement signed by the chief executive officer of the World Cup organising committee, Danny Jordaan, said Brazil are a special attraction to any World Cup finals.
 
“You cannot host a World Cup without Brazil. The kings of football already wowed South Africa earlier this year when they won their third Confederations Cup title, and we look forward to seeing if they can repeat that performance and add a record sixth World Cup trophy to their name next year,” said Jordaan.

Brazil are through to South Africa 2010 after they beat perennial rivals Argentina 3-1 in Saturday night’s World Cup qualifier. This guaranteed them a top four finish in the Conmebol standings. The top four teams qualify and the fifth-placed team feature in a home-and-away playoff with the fourth-placed team from North, Central America & Caribbean.

“Brazil are the hosts of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and it will be great to have them here so that we can formally hand over the baton to them come July 12, 2010,” said Jordaan.

The Samba Stars are the most successful team of all time having won five World Cups to date and are the only country in the world to have qualified for every World Cup thus far.
