South African anthem at opening of 2010 FIFA World Cup, 11 June 2010
The singing of the national anthem before kick off in the opening match of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ was an emotional moment for the more than 80 000 fans that watched the game in the stadium, and the millions who watched it around the world. Relive it here, as seen from one of the seats higher up in Soccer City, Soweto, where South Africa took on Mexico in the opening game.
South Africa and Mexico drew the game 1-1, in an exciting, well-matched game. The atmosphere inside the stadium was electric, and although there were some high-spirited Mexicans in the crowd, Bafana Bafana supporters in yellow dominated the stadium.
