Additional Stadium Information
In recognition of Visa's sponsorship, the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa proudly
accepts only Visa-branded credit, debit, and pre-paid cards along with cash, in all 2010
FWC stadiums to pay for food and beverages, retail goods, and services while attending
the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa. For the convenience of all fans, there will

Visa cardholders are reminded to contact their issuing banks before leaving for South

FIFA FAN FESTS
"Cant get to the stadium, but still

want to be part of the fun? Check
out our FIFA Fan Fests, where
football is a party."
53
Ofcial public viewing events were rst launched by FIFA in 2006 as part of the ofcial
programme under the name Fan Fest. During June/July 2006, more than 18 million
fans gathered at the 12 ofcial events and transformed Germany into one of the great-
est fan parties of all times. And this year this will continue as you and the rest of world
come to Africa.
There is a FIFA Fan Fest in each host city except for Johannesburg which has two. For
those of you who will not be at the stadium, the ambience at the FIFA Fan Fest will
bring a special feeling as you will be able to watch all live matches free on world-class
giant screens in a safe and secure environment. You can also learn the diski dance,
the ofcial World Cup dance which combines funky South African moves with popular
football tricks and enjoy African cuisine.
Entrance is free, and you can purchase food and beverages from the multiple food and
beverage stores. On match days, live music and entertainment will keep you on your
feet between matches. 2010 FIFA World Cup merchandise can also be bought at the
Ofcial Shop at each FIFA Fan Fest venue.
Johannesburg
The City of Gold has two stadiums and, as a result, football fans will be spoilt for choice
with two FIFA Fan Fests in the city.
