It is one of the most discussed countries in football circles and there is always positive and negative news about it. However, now the real question is that is accommodation and transport really such a big challenge for the country? Well, South Africa is a major tourist destination and many supporters believe that the country will be able to make sufficient arrangement for fans from all over the world. In fact, supporters feel that the accommodation crisis is more of a hype than reality.
 

There are several categories of people that need to be accommodated like partners of the tournament, the teams, sponsors, media, representatives, volunteers and audience. This would right away boost the tourism aspect of the country, which is already quite a popular tourist destination. People who have visited South Africa as tourists say that they see no such problems in the country and in fact, the country is well organized for the event. This is evident from the stadiums that are being built for the World Cup. There are no issues whatsoever with the stadiums, neither the ones that are being renovated nor the ones that are being built from scratch.
 

Therefore, many feel that the challenges of the FIFA World Cup for South Africa is more of a media made problem. The FIFA Committee would not have randomly picked up a country without viewing the pros and cons. Although the country does have certain problems with accommodation and transportation, they are being exaggerated. In fact, South Africa is a country that is dotted with resorts and hotels. Therefore, there should not be an issue to accommodate or transport millions of fans who converge for the FIFA World Cup.

However, only time will tell whether South Africa can successfully host the FIFA World Cup or not.
