Setting a World Record

“At this soccer crescendo, soccer fans will make their mark in history when they are counted as the voice behind the new world record. Three minutes before kick-off, fans will be signaled to blow their vuvuzelas simultaneously,” the operator said.

The first 20 000 fans to enter the stadium would receive a complimentary limited edition Vodacom Guinness World Records vuvuzela.
