World cup fever

The World Cup comes to Africa for the first time ever this year, and with no less than six African teams taking part, we at Computers 4 Africa thought it’d be a good idea to have a look at what’s going to be happening in South Africa over the next few weeks, and what it means for Africans to have the tournament hosted on their doorstep.

We will be running a series of stories throughout the next few weeks, examining each of the participating African nations in turn, as well as following their games as the tournament unfolds. We’ll start with the host nation, South Africa, who will be hoping for a win against Mexico when they kick off the tournament on Friday if their hopes of reaching the knockout stage are to be fulfilled. No host nation has ever failed to make it past the first group stage of a World Cup so far, and South Africa is certainly hoping not to break that that record.
