The Finale


Last night at Soccer City Stadium, ECI crew were there at the final match between Netherlands vs. Spain. We were extremely excited about the match itself as well as the closing ceremony. We also spotted many VIP people including Nelson Mandela, President Zuma, Queen Sofía of Spain, etc.






All in all it was a really nice WC 2010 final, although we had to wait until 116 minute to see the goal from the champion team - a.k.a. España.


Now we can proudly say that "We were there!"

"The sweet revenge for 1966" - ECI was there

On June 27th ECI, represented by the German fraction Frank, Marius and David, took their way down to Bloemfontein to see the World Cup Classic Germany vs England. We expected a fabulous match but what we actually saw was more than we could have imagined,- the historical 4-1 win over the Three Lions. Both sides celebrated the match before and after the match at the Bloemfontein Waterfront and we must clearly admit that England Fans are really fair Gentlemen looking at a historical loss against their biggest opponents.

Three Lions fans know best how to prepare for a Germany Match.




The Bloemfontein Waterfront was the place to be with our partying English friends at wonderful 22°C









Also Bundesliga Coaching-Legend Hans Meyer came to Bloemfontein to watch the historical spectacle.






On our seats we had a premium view on the “revenge for 66”.

Brasil - Côte d'Ivoire in Soccer City

Yesterday, the Event Consulting International team attended the Brasil - Côte d'Ivoire game in Soccer City to see for themselves in which shape Kaka & Co. are at the moment - and they were not dissappointed! Luis Fabiano scored twice and Elano was responsible for the third goal of the Brasilians. Didier Drogba gave the fans of the Ivory Coast reason to cheer in minute 79 with a beautiful header. 85000 people celebrating soccer in Soccer City - what an experience!

Either you love them, or you hate them!

This cheap plastic instrument is one of the biggest topics of discussion in the 2010 World Cup. The Soccer Buzz has literally left numerous fans’ ears buzzing from the noisy trumpets on and off the pitch, and many people say the Vuvuzela is the real symbol of the first African World Cup – forget about Zakumi! On the other hand, many fans as well as stars such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have complained that the constant noise hampers the communication among players on the pitch. Earplugs are sold out, but also the Vuvuzela’s sales figures rise constantly – fans all over South Africa can’t live with or without them!
