Soccer World Cup
2 1 Update
25 June 2010
Probably the most talked about event since the 1994 elections is underway. Did it have the impact that people were expecting? Well, in South Africa on the afternoon of Friday 11th, soccer is pretty much all that was happening.
A fortunate few (84,000) were able to attend the opening ceremony and the SA vs Mexico match at Soccer City. A high percentage of the rest of the country was watching the event at either one of the “Fan Fest” venues or on television. In South Africa, at the peak of the viewing (17:30) an estimated 10 421 million individuals (4 years+) were watching the game on television at home. This does not include the many thousands who watched at friends, restaurants, pubs, and other central venues.
The match took 86%-90% share of all television viewing between 16:00 and 18:00. Over 6 million people watched the opening ceremony.
