The Fridays are fast ticking down until the 2010 Fifa World Cup kick-off, and South Africans are being urged to mark each Friday by wearing a football shirt to work.
Football Fridays is a call to all South Africans to get behind the 2010 Fifa World Cup in order to get excited about the biggest sporting show on the planet – arriving on African soil for the first time on Friday, 11 June 2010.
It is also a way of supporting the Bafana Bafana soccer team that will run out onto the pitch at Johannesburg’s Soccer City Stadium on that day.
It’s also to start getting ready to welcome hundreds of thousands of travelling football fans, and hundreds of millions of television viewers, to the southern tip of Africa.
South Africans are encouraged to wear a football shirt to work (or play) on Friday every Friday between now and the start of the 2010 Fifa World Cup on Friday, 11 June 2010.
Football Fridays is a joint initiative of the country’s major 2010 partners: The 2010 Fifa World Cup SA Organising Committee; The Government Communication and Information System; South African Tourism; The International Marketing Council of South Africa and The South African Broadcasting Corporation.
