Come and watch the confederations cup in Mpumalanga

The department of Culture, Sport and Recreation has organized Public Viewing Sites for the people of Mpumalanga in all the regions so that they could watch the games live on giant screens during the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup.

The Public Viewing Sites are held to mobilize communities to support Bafana Bafana and the confederations cup in general. The stadiums cannot be accessible to all soccer loving people in the country and the public viewing sites will offer an entertainment filled environment where people will come together and witness best teams in the world fighting for supremacy during the confederations cup.

As we march towards the 2010 FIFA World Cup, public viewing sites will play an important role for many spectators as they bring almost the same electric feeling that is experienced at stadiums.
