Five Reasons to Participate in Football Friday

Once again, it is Football Friday in South Africa, and everywhere I go I see individuals in green and yellow football shirts. It is especially uplifting in light of the current political climate.

Five Reasons to Participate in Football Friday

United South Africa

The biggest reason would be to help unite South Africa. We live in an amazingly diverse nation, yet we still have a long way to go with regards to racial harmony. When we wear our Bafana Bafana supporter shirts, we stand out as being proudly South African, regardless of our culture. We help to create a South African culture. 

Half Price Cappuccino

Apparently, if you go to Sasol garage convenience stores and order a Chaywa cappuccino in your Football Friday gear, you will receive it for half the usual price. Being, a cappuccino lover, that sounds like a good deal to me.

Support the World Cup

As South Africans, we are hearing all about how we need to host the World Cup well. We are generally a hospitable people, but there is also a lot of negativity in the land. By wearing our yellow and greens, we are showing support for our beloved country hosting the World Cup. We are joining the clan of positive thinkers and the more positive people we have, the more of a success it will be.

Spar Gift Vouchers

Some Spar stores, according to an excerpt which I heard on Radio Highveld, will randomly pick a Football Friday supporter who is shopping in the store on Fridays. The lucky supporter will win a Spar voucher. 

Fun, Fun, Fun

I am a sucker for having fun. Joining in any initiative that has a worthy cause is good enough for me to participate. The cool thing about wearing Football Friday shirts is that I find myself smiling at all the other supporters during the day. I find that there seems to be an atmosphere of friendliness, and God knows how much we all need that in our lives.

So, once again, I encourage South Africa to become a football supporter on Fridays. Come on, join in the fun.
