Accommodations: Hotels are reserved three to four years in advance of FIFA World Cup™ for delegates, sponsors, and sports/media representatives who attend in an official capacity. This coupled with the heavy demand for regular international travel has created a major shortage of all accommodations. Click here for additional information on types of accommodations offered.

It is important to note that the FIFA World Cup™; host cities of Bloemfontein, Nelspruit, Polokwane, and
Boats in Durban Harbor

Rustenburg do not have sufficient accommodations and support services to support international visitors.MATCH, the official accommodations operator for 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™; has recommended that FIFA World Cup™ visitors stay in larger cities (Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg) and only travel to these outlying areas on the day of the event. Great Atlantic Travel will be offering a wide range of hotels for your stay during the 2010 FIFA World Cup™.

International and Domestic Flights: During the 2010 FIFA World Cup™;, airline reservations into South Africa will be at an absolute premium.

Ground Transportation: The transportation program of the FIFA World Cup™ will ensure the smooth movement of fans, FIFA officials, associates, and media. As importantly, a vastly improved public transport system will be secured as one of the legacies for South Africa. A great deal of the transport preparations are happening at host city level. However, equally as important is moving visitors across the country. Distance travel will be offered by taxis, buses, passenger rail, luxury coaches, tour packages, private car-hire companies, and domestic aviation. South Africa will temporarily increase its operational capacity for distance travel - primarily by making available additional vehicles and improving operational efficiencies. The Department of Transportation is preparing to provide a fleet of 2,035 luxury and standard buses, 60 train sets, and 1,000 bus coaches. Some 1400 luxury coaches are being procured. There will be a train available every five minutes in peak times and train services 14 - 16 hours a day throughout the 2010 FIFA World Cup™.
