FIFA World Cup Translation - By: Prime Languages

As the football craze is heating up, more and more national flags are now exhibited outside of balconies, pubs, as well as on top of vehicles to show support for national football teams. Although we are still experiencing sluggish economic conditions, the 2010 FIFA World Cup is definitely a welcomed distraction for us for the coming four to five weeks.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup is the largest sporting event in the world and millions of viewers will be watching the games. The World Cup takes place every four years and is hosted by a different country every time. The championship has been competed since 1930 apart for 1942 and 1946 when World War II broke out. Although the World Cup has been running for 80 years, it has always been won by only a handful of countries – Brazil, Italy, Germany, Argentina, Uruguay, France and England. Hopefully, the 2010 World Cup will have different surprises for all of us.

South Africa will be the proud nation host for the coming competitions. This is without a doubt going to be the craziest month for many loyal football fans and many will not get much sleep because they are watching the matches in different time zones. It is even more difficult for those who are also working. We certainly hope their employers are watching it too!

As football unites us all, we would like to take the opportunity to provide the football fans with a list of how the phrase “FIFA World Cup” is written in different languages all over the world.
