This Article interrogates the way in which the 2010 FIFA World Cup has acted as a catalyst for meeting the developmental objectives advanced by FIFA and the host country South Africa, and the intended aims of developing a socially inclusive, gender friendly and ‘green’ event. The Article examines these specific developmental ‘goals’ by engaging with two micro case studies in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. These include an encounter with a group of rural women (participants in women's football) from Maputoland in northern KwaZulu-Natal and, a brief review of the Buffelsdraai Landfill Site Community Reforestation Project (set up to mitigate the carbon footprint incurred by the 2010 FIFA World Cup), which provides a vehicle for exploring the gendered nature of the climate change debate
