“A abertura do Mundial desperta a curiosidade para a música, dança e toda a riqueza artística africana, ainda pouco explorada pelo mercado internacional. Alicia Keys, Black Eyed Peas e Shakira são nomes famosíssimos, só que estão mais para a Copa de 1994 (realizada nos Estados Unidos) do que para a Copa de 2010 (na África). Segundo Cole van dais, perder espaço para atrações “de fora do país” não seria justo. “A Copa da África é uma grande oportunidade para expor uma experiência diversificada da cultura africana. Não queremos dizer que artistas internacionais não são bem-vindos. Apenas não achamos justo que eles tomem a maioria das performances”, opinou. "The Africa Cup is a great opportunity to expose a diverse experience of African culture”

— Natalia Luz, A controversial opening ceremony of the world cup 2010
