dc.description.abstract	This introductory article to this special edition starts with the premise that mega international events are inherently political in nature. South Africa’s hosting of the 2010 FIFA World Cup is not exception in this regard. The article traces the guarantees expected by FIFA, South Africa’s compliance with these requirements, the expectations pertaining to the event, as well as the rhetoric of the event.	en
