Football Friday – Celebs versus Media

Celebs and Media went head-to-head, or shall I say, boot-to-boot on Friday, November 27 for the launch of Pretoria’s ‘Football Friday’ initiative in anticipation of the 2010 Fifa World Cup. An initiative that aims to build support and enthusiasm as the countdown to Africa’s first Fifa World Cup gains momentum, Football Friday aims to encourage South Africans to wear the jersey of the national football team, Bafana Bafana, every Friday until the start of the 2010 Fifa World Cup. The campaign seeks to popularise the mobilising elements the NCP has been promoting, including encouraging South Africans to fly the South African flag at every opportunity, to learn to sing the national anthem and support the national team Bafana Bafana and the tournament by wearing their national team and football jerseys every Friday until the tournament. After a very close match, The Media team, dubbed AMA BRANNA PAPARAZZI, came out victorious. A nerve wrecking sudden death shoot-out saw Lazarus of the Press Club team scoring the final and winning goal.
