Welcome to our coverage of tonight’s 2014 World Cup draw. The draw has taken on greater significance with the death of Nelson Mandela, who recognised the power of sport to bring people closer together.
He was at the forefront of South Africa’s bid to host the 2010 World Cup. While remembering his contribution to sport in South Africa, we can look forward tonight to the excitement and action of next year’s World Cup in Brazil.
Mandela was the man at the heart of South Africa's return to world competition after decades of Apartheid-enforced isolation. He used sport as a means of reconciliation and his presence at key contests at which South African teams triumphed led to the concept of 'Madiba magic'.
