The Logo of the 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP SOUTH AFRICA



The coming year will be the year of Soccer lovers, the year for the Fifa World Cup 2010. In May 2004, FIFA awarded the hosting of the FIFA World Cup to an African country for the first time in the 101 years of FIFA’s existence. As the host, South Africa stands not as a country alone – but rather as a representative of Africa and as part of an African family of nations.

Hence, the logo design of the Fifa World Cup 2010 depicts the same essence and shows the map of Africa with blue, green, red, yellow, black and white stripes of South African flag. The design is dynamic and embodies the burning passion of Africa.

A bicycle kicker in the Fifa logo symbolizes the passion of soccer not only for African people but for those of around the world.
