| Abstract/Contents: | Details the decision for the 2010 FIFA World Cup tournament to be held in South Africa, focusing on the training and volunteer work put in to help complete preparations. States that the Sports Turf Research Institute was asked to help ensure all fields would meet the FIFA standards prior to play, mentioning that "it was important to ensure best practice standards and techniques were used at all the venues in terms of the management, maintenance, and pre-match preparation of pitches." Provides a summary of the training courses for those preparing the soccer fields, suggesting that "the training was very interesting and showed us what we needed to focus on to get the pitch to a world-class standard." Concludes that "one of the major goals of holding the World Cup in South Africa was to leave a lasting legacy, and it is without doubt the legacy on the pitches will continue for years to come." |
