Football in South Africa

Written on Thursday, June 25th, 2009 by

boston.com has just published a set of beautiful pictures of football in South Africa during the Confederations Cup. Included in the set are recent photos of how the construction of the Soccer City stadium is coming along. This stadium will be hosting the Opening Ceremony and is the final destination of The Ball as it travels from England.

Donate a ball!

Pass the ball on! All footballs donated via Alive & Kicking's website before the 2010 World Cup went to Special Olympics programmes in sub-Saharan Africa. But you can still donate a ball to a good cause...
