Hi soccer lovers…

I am sure all of you have already started bag-packing for World Cup 2010 South Africa. And many of you desperately hunt for a ticket for this mega event. But I just want to make you aware of the fact that buying tickets online from unauthorised websites or agency, can put you in trouble. You may be, not gonna part of that mega event.

So avoid buying tickets from such unauthorised websites, You can get tickets in only one website i.e. FIFA.com, and there are few more companies where you can buy authorised packages.

So remember my words and avoid trouble

In my previous post I wrote about on world cup 2010 stadiums with their images. Now heres an outline of South Africa with its 9 host cities.

I am sure most of you are planning to be there to watch the mega event. As the place would be completely new for you. And you may find difficulty to reach your destination in time. Don’t worry here are some official addresses which certainly will help you to get your destinations conveniently. Just note down in your personal diary before you leave for SA .

Meet Zakumi, he is guide and a good friend for the visitors, fans, players during the World cup tournament 2010 South Africa. You will find him all the way during Soccer Mega Event. But how will you recognize him? Yeah, I have pasted his snap below. Hope that will help.

Btw what does Zakumi mean? ‘Zakumi’, a composition of ‘ZA’ standing for South Africa and ‘kumi’, which translates into ‘10′ in several languages in Africa.

Few words about Zakumi. He is friendly, warm-hearted, caring, self-confident, adventurous and actually quite shrewd tiny fellow. He loves to perform and always follows his instinct and intuition, yet sometimes has the tendency to exaggerate a bit. He loves making friends thats why till now he has become friends of millions of soccer fans across the world.

Btw I want to warn all the bad people out there. Do not ever try to create violence during the mega event. Else Zakumi will catch you and cause damage. He is very dangerous coz he is a big brother of Leopard. How come he is big brother of Leopard? Coz he’s got sense. His only goal is to maintain peace during the event and make that event successful and remarkable in the world cup history.

So friends meet Zakumi if you visit South Africa to enjoy World Cup Soccer 2010.

We all are waiting for the mega event of soccer world cup 2010. As we all know that the event will take place in South Africa. The concerned authority is working pretty hard to make this event successful and remarkable.
