Planning to visit South Africa for the 2010 FIFA World Cup? The following information can help you have a safe and enjoyable stay.
The British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) is kicking off its ‘Be on the Ball’ campaign this week, aimed at helping England fans heading to South Africa, with a press conference today.
Gary Mabbutt, ex-England player, and one of the ambassadors for South Africa’s World Cup bid, has joined the FCO in urging fans to take a few simple precautions before they travel.
Working with the South African authorities and travel industry partners, the FCO has produced a dedicated world cup advice page on its website with information from rules of the road to accommodation issues and transport advice. This will be updated regularly as the World Cup approaches.
Here follows a clip featuring Gary Mabbutt providing tips to travelling fans:
