In June 2010 South Africa will host the FIFA World Cup, a tournament that galvanizes passionate soccer fans throughout the globe. The 2010 games mark the first soccer World Cup to take place in Africa and will be a springboard from which we can celebrate South Africa’s multicultural democracy, which captured the world’s attention in the 1990s with its inspiring leadership for a peaceful transition out of apartheid.

As sports played a significant role in unifying a newly democratic South Africa, World Cup Boston 2010 offers a similar opportunity to bring together divergent communities under the auspice of one singular and universal sport. World Cup Boston 2010 seeks to engage Bostonians in forging relationships across neighborhoods to build a stronger intercultural dialogue through a celebration of soccer, culture and diversity. A public, private and nonprofit collaboration, World Cup Boston 2010 is structured to raise awareness about the unifying power of soccer across cultural differences and to boost participation in sports amongst Boston Youth.
