The only time a Cuban soccer team participated in a World Cup happened over seventy years ago, but despite the prolonged absence and poor results achieved by our national teams, the Cup continues to passionate soccer fans in Cuba who change every four years, at least for a month, the baseball bat for a soccer ball.

The 2010 sports calendar, unlike the previous year, includes major events like the Central American Games to be held in Mayagüez, the 1st edition of the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore or the basketball and volleyball world championships, but nothing seems more important than the FIFA World Cup , hosted for the first time ever by an African nation.

However, before the opening match initial whistle between Mexico and South Africa, on June 11th, all professional leagues played in the world would have defined their title holders, like the European Champions League and Africa will have a monarch, in the first major international soccer event in 2010.
