As the countdown for the December 4th draw
gathers pace and our client Thomas Cook Sport gears up for the rush to buy the
perfect match action package, a recent trip to Cape Town convinced me South
Africa is ready and excited to stage the continent’s first World Cup.
The excitement is not restricted to the UK football fan.
While driving from vineyard to vineyard,
every five minutes the local radio station was booming out competitions
to win 2010 FIFA World Cup tickets. The only issue for me was the presenter’s lack of knowledge
on how to talk the language of our beautiful game, offering fans the chance to
win ‘double’ tickets!
The new 4.4 million Rand Green Point Stadium in Cape Town is
really taking shape. Fans will be
able to marvel at the incredible Table Mountain backdrop and enjoy the numerous
restaurants and bars of the Victorian and Alfred Waterfront, which is only a
short walk from the new 69,000 capacity ground.
South Africa is a special place, especially Cape Town, and
if you are a Leeds United fan like myself, just hail Lucas Radebe, the
country’s most famous football export, and you might just get the best seat in
the house! I hope the Three Lions
end playing in Cape Town, so I can book my return to soak up the atmosphere and
action.
