Ban Vuvuzelas Campaign - Save Our World Cup

Join the campaign to get rid of those damned vuvuzela horns out of our World Cup. This is the WORLD CUP and not the South Africa Cup so why should the rest of the us have to put up with that horrible noise AND a complete loss of match atmosphere? FIFA need to realise that they are losing TV viewers and fewer viewers means less revenue. And that is something that FIFA will listen to - even over the din created by those vuvuzelas.

Vuvuzela Fallacy

Some people claim that the vuvuzela is part of South African culture and sporting heritage. This is not true. They are not used at other South African sporting events and they have only been used at football matches since the 1990's. Vuvuzelas - or plastic horns - were introduced to South Africa by a business man who first saw them in China in the 1990's.

GAA Bans Vuvuzelas

The GAA announced on 17th June 2010 that vuvuzelas would not be allowed in Croke Park. They were joined by German football club Borussia Dortmund who have also banned them from home matches at the Westfalenstadion.
