The adidas Ticket Fund campaign is a FIFA initiative aimed at making 2010 FIFA World Cup matches more accessible to those South African learners who do not ordinarily have the means to purchase tickets for the tournament. The students have been participating in art and football competitions in their respective provinces, culminating in the national finals this month.
We chose to partner with the DBE in order to make sure that we fulfil FIFAs mandate of giving away match tickets to the deserving young people of South Africa. We also ensured that the school learners do not get these tickets as handouts but through making some effort in both the art and the football competitions, Zobuzwe Ngobese, the Public Relations Manager at adidas South Africa told The Zimbabwean.
The activities saw art students from the nine provinces of South Africa competing against each other at the National Cultural History Museum in Pretoria. This will be followed by a similar event this coming weekend when learners from the nine provinces will take part in a mini World Cup football competition.
