It seems the 2010 Fifa World Cup South Africa battle has already begun with reports claiming that both Fabio Capello and Sven Goran Eriksson are going head-to-head to secure Pezula Resort Hotel & Spa, Knysna as base camp - they haven't even qualified yet!
About Pezula Resort Hotel & Spa
The five-star hotel, which opened in February 2005, has views overlooking the Indian Ocean, Knysna Lagoon and Outeniqua Mountains.
And not only is it surrounded by an 18-hole championship golf course, it has a wide range of sporting facilities suitable for international footballers. According to its website:
A paradise awaits sports and outdoor enthusiasts. Apart from the Pezula Championship Golf Course, guests have access to the Private Estate including the tennis courts, multi-sports oval and golf driving range at the Field of Dreams, and the Barnyard and Country Store where guests meet for horse riding, nature trails through the Estate's indigenous forests and canoe trips on the Noetzie River
It also - apparently - has its own football pitches, training facilities and a private helicopter. As soon as we find out which team secures it, we'll let you know!
