All nine South African Host Cities as well as Berlin, London, Mexico
City, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Rome and Sydney were this week unveiled as locations for the FIFA Fan Fest, the official public
viewing events of football’s flagship tournament.
Millions of fans are expected to watch the matches live at these events and experience the unique FIFA World Cup ambiance in these outdoor areas.
Entrance to the FIFA Fan Fest is free, with all 64 matches to be broadcast on giant screens in a safe and secure environment where rival fans can celebrate together and enjoy the beautiful game at its best.
Official public viewings events were first launched by FIFA in 2006 as part of the official programme under the name of “Fan Fests”.
During June/July 2006, more than 18 million fans gathered at the 12 official events and transformed Germany into one of the greatest fan parties of all time.
“The FIFA Fan Fest was an important part of the success of the 2006 FIFA World Cup and we believe that the 2010 FIFA Fan Fests, both in South Africa and in the other seven international venues, will bring an unprecedented experience to millions of football fans in South Africa and around the world,” said FIFA President Joseph Blatter, according to website of world football's governing body.
“The first International FIFA Fan Fest is another milestone in bringing the excitement of the FIFA World Cup to an even greater audience.”
In South Africa, the FIFA Fan Fest will be organised by the Host Cities together with FIFA and the Local Organising Committee, with the International FIFA Fan Fest cities and FIFA taking responsibility for the international events.
“We have always wanted the 2010 FIFA World Cup to touch the lives of as many South Africans as possible. The FIFA Fan Fest will provide an opportunity for millions of our people to watch the matches in a festival environment for free and will also provide an opportunity for small businesses and our musical talents to benefit from this event,” explained Danny Jordaan, CEO of the 2010 FIFA World Cup Organising Committee South Africa at a press conference.
Besides football, all cities will provide tastes and sounds of each of the countries through an all-day entertainment programme outside the actual broadcast of the matches.
In South Africa in particular, this will offer opportunities for small local businesses to provide services and sell local arts and crafts, benefiting financially from the Fan Fests.
On 4 December 2009 – the day of the eagerly awaited Final Draw – visitors and South Africans will have the first opportunity to get a taste of what is to come in 2010 when Cape Town hosts the Long Street Festival for the Final Draw, which will feature an official FIFA Fan Fest showcase event.
