Vuvuzelas are going to be written into the Guinness Book of Records tonight at the at the Vodacom Challenge derby at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Port Elizabeth where Orlando Pirates play Kaizer Chiefs.
Vodacom – the mobile operator behind the attempt – said fans would blow their vuvuzelas for 30 seconds before Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs kick off against each other in Port Elizabeth.
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.
2010 Guinness Book of Records
The world record attempt will be monitored by Guinness world record adjudicator Rob Malloy who will fly into the country from London especially for the event, which will be recorded in the 2010 Guinness Book of Records.
