Opening Ceremony of FIFA World Cup 2010


The founder of FIFA WORLD CUP 2010 in South Africa is Nelson Mandela. Information Communications Manager at the Nelson Mandela Foundation, Sello Hatang, said: "We reiterate that Mr. Mandela and his family will make the decision about whether he attends or not on the day."
Mandela was going to attend the opening ceremony, but he was unable to attend because his 13-year-old great-granddaughter died in a car crash before the opening ceremony.Local Organizing Committee spokesman Jermaine Craig said an open invitation had been sent to the Mandelas, adding: "I can confirm that current president Jacob Zuma will attend Sunday's occasion."
