National Fly the Flag Day

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010
Tuesday, 16 February 2010
2 March 2010:
Gear up for the 100 Day Countdown to the 2010  World Cup
Three million tickets. 64 matches. 32 teams. Approximately 450 000 international visitors. A global television audience of more than 26 billion viewers cumulatively. 48 million proud Bafana Bafana supporters. And billions of rands spent on improving South Africa for the long term beyond the World Cup.

This is the spectacle that will greet the world on 11 June 2010 – more than six years after South Africa was chosen as hosts, bringing the largest sporting event in the world to the African continent for the first time.

On Tuesday, 2 March, this celebration of football and of Africa’s humanity will be just 100 days away.

What will you do on 2 March to mark this important landmark for the country and the international football community?

Ensure that 2 March is celebrated with all the passion and vibrancy that the world associates with this young, dynamic country.

2 March is therefore earmarked as a day on which South Africans, here and abroad, are called upon to demonstrate their excitement for the tournament, and to display their passion for the country and the beautiful game.

It is also a day for previewing how we will open our hearts and homes to the hundreds of thousands of visitors who will soon be driving, flying and sailing to this diverse, scenic and rapidly developing destination at the southern tip of the African continent.

From flying the flag and donning Bafana Bafana kit, to feasting on homegrown meals and music, 2 March is a celebration of what the country has already achieved in preparing for the tournament, and a chance to get our hearts and minds into the spirit of the FIFA World Cup.

So, what can you do on 2 March?
“Fly the Flag” on the day!

The 100 Day Countdown builds on the “Fly the flag” initiative, which brings together all who live in South Africa around the country’s national symbols and anthem, and expresses support for Bafana Bafana.

Organisation and institutions are invited to host events at midday (12 noon) on 2 March, enabling staff, clients and partners to sing the national anthem, wear the Bafana Bafana kit, dance the Diski and acknowledge the flag.

Mini-football, football quizzes, chats about what makes us good hosts and good football supporters and discussing ways in which football can bring us closer as a nation, are among the activities that could serve as in-house team-building exercises.

Of course, a simple braai will add to the feel-good factor!

Create awareness about the importance of hosting the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ and communicate the important role each of your audiences creates in nation-building. For more information on activities for 2 March, please access South Africa 2010.

Make Football Fridays a standard celebration in your home, community and office

Each Friday, before and after 2 March, encourage those around you to wear the Bafana Bafana kit and create a “sea of gold” on the streets and inside the stadium when the national team plays. Information on official Bafana Bafana merchandise and licensees can be obtained on the website: SLAM. So, wear your shirt from now onwards, fly your flag and learn the national anthem. Many companies are already hosting Football Fridays and some activation can be viewed on the website: Football Friday.

Get into shape with the Diski Dance

The Diski Dance can provide fun and team-building, promoting excitement and national unity. Official Diski dancers can be booked to come to your offices and teach your staff the Diski Dance or add additional excitement at a client function. Please refer to the corporate Diski Pack for more information on how to book your Diski dancers via the website: South Africa 2010.

Distribute Proudly South African (made in South Africa) nation-building collateral to be given to your stakeholders on Football Fridays

For organisations, a great way to ignite excitement and national pride is to distribute various collateral elements to stakeholders, including:

  • South African flags
  • South African beanies and scarves
  • South African branded vuvuzela’s
  • credit-card size face-painting kits and more.

Individuals and communities can also showcase their participation in many creative forms, whether it is through clean-up campaigns, tree planting and many other activities that involve communities to create long-term legacies that we all can be proud of.

World Cup 2010

Thursday, February 11th, 2010
The Cape’s Garden Route has been chosen by four countries as the perfect place from which to prepare for World Cup glory.
Four countries participating in next year’s World Cup have elected to set up their base training camps along the Cape’s Garden Route.
France and Denmark will be based in Knysna, Paraguay in Mossel Bay and Japan in George..

Japanese National Football Association president Motoaki Inukai made the announcement on a whirlwind trip to George after attending Japan’s friendly match against Bafana Bafana in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.
“Team coach Takeshi Okada chose George because of its safe and beautiful environment, which will enable players to concentrate on practising for their matches,” he said.
Inukai was “honestly surprised” by his impressions of South Africa, which was portrayed in the Japanese media as unsafe.
“I know now why he (Okada) liked George on his first site visit. It is very different from the image we had before we came here.”

Eden District Mayor Leon Dorfling, who is championing Eden’s involvement in 2010, told Inukai Eden would not compromise on the safety of visitors.
“This announcement is music to our ears. Eden and George municipalities are very proud to host Mr Inukai here today and we want to assure him that the Garden Route has excellent infrastructure in a very safe environment. We are also not compromising on safety and security,” he said.

The district was working closely with national and provincial government and other role players to integrate public safety plans for the World Cup.
Eden acting municipal manager and 2010 manager Morne Hoogbaard said Inukai’s announcement was the culmination of a very committed approach by the Eden 2010 team to ensure that the district benefited from the World Cup.
Hoogbaard said Eden was the first district in the country to commit significant resources towards positioning the region as a destination of choice for teams and fans.
“The Japanese soccer team is known to travel with a large following of about 22000 supporters, and although not all of them will stay in Eden, this will leave a long-term legacy for business and tourism,” he said.
George mayor Flip de Swardt said it would be an honour to host the team.

The Herolds Bay Hotel looks forward to welcoming all World Cup Visitors and Japanese supporters.  Yōkoso – wa-rudokappu 2010!
