Football fever in Africa

For the first time in the history of the tournament, the continent of Africa is holding the FIFA World Cup.

The most prestigious football event in the world kicks off on 11th June 2010 surrounded by the natural beauty of the National Parks, mountains, open plains and breathtaking coastline, as well as bustling and sophisticated cities.

The grounds in which the best teams in the world battle it out are also magnificent with the Green Point stadium being a stone’s throw from the ocean and using the mountains of Cape Town as the backdrop, and Soccer City being at the forefront of Africa’s art and design and inspired by an iconic African pot known as the ‘calabash’.
