520 _aPort Elizabeth was the first South African city to complete construction of a brand-new venue to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup matches. Backed by the private sector, the metropolitan authority hopes this spectacular event will change the city’s Cinderella status, transforming it into a “winning city.” However, meeting FIFA’s requirements has many pitfalls. The escalating cost of the stadium has contributed to the city’s budget shortfall, hindering its own service delivery obligations. Long-term development goals will be sacrificed for the sake of the city’s image. Consequently, the legacy of the World Cup will be economically uneven and politically fractious.
