Football in South Africa can be traced back to the late 19th century and the first recognised club was formed as early as 1879.
It is the most widely played sport in South Africa, with its traditional support base in the black community. For many South Africans, the country's proudest sporting moment came when they won the African Nations Cup on home turf in 1996.
They introduced the vuvuzela!! Do you remember this horrible horn sound but so much fun to blow in it! The root of this word come from the Zulu language for "welcome", "unite" and "celebration.
The day it was announced that South Africa would host the 2010 World Cup, some 20,000 vuvuzelas were sold by street vendors; about 650,000 vuvuzelas have been sold in all between May 2004 and the beginning of the games in South Africa. A total of 50 million had been sold!!! Incroyable
