Soccer in the Library

The FIFA World Cup is an event staged on a scale of huge proportions. As one of the most watched sporting events on earth it enjoys exceptional interest from sports fanatics and the business world alike.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa represents a special first performance in that it is the first time that the competition will be hosted in Africa. As such, many entities, organizations, businesses and non-commercial organizations will want to be part of this groundbreaking movement.

With just 77 days to go before the grand opening game the SABC Information Library has launched a soccer display at the library. The display includes books on soccer, world flags, national anthems and newspaper articles on the preparation for the 2010 Soccer World Cup and sports magazines. First Citizens are encouraged to visit the library and experience the feel of this historic event that will take place on African soil. As the Official Broadcaster let’s make this World Cup a 110% success!
