Pretoria is like a meat bun now, everyone wants to come up and take a bite. If you can’t take a bite, it doesn’t matter, just rub some grease on it.

 Whether it is hosting the Olympic Games or the World Cup, Pretoria must make a statement. After all, both the Olympic Games and the World Cup require the cooperation of the Olympic Organizing Committee and FIFA respectively.

This is similar to selling trademarks. We don’t produce water, we only act as porters for nature——

 It doesn’t seem appropriate.

 It doesn’t matter, that’s probably what it means.

 Once the Crown Stadium is completed, Pretoria will have the best stadium in the world.

Football has a good mass base in southern Africa, and the fans are very enthusiastic. For the game between the Los Angeles Eagles and Rhodesia United, some people even flew all the way from Cape Town to Los Angeles to watch the game. It is difficult to get tickets.

Please, the stadium is packed with seats, and every game is broadcast live on the radio. Even if the audience can't see the image, the sound of the scene is enough to make people excited.

 When FIFA was first established, it proposed to its member countries the idea of ​​holding the World Cup.

 It is a pity that football was not popular enough at that time and not many countries were interested in the World Cup, so this plan was stillborn.

  After Remy was elected as the president of FIFA, he once again proposed the idea of ​​a World Cup to the national football associations and assured the national Olympic committees that the World Cup would not conflict with the Olympic Games. Finally, it was agreed by all FIFA member states.

  The first World Cup will be held in 1930, staggered from the Olympic Games, but coinciding with the Commonwealth Games. When Roque expressed his dissatisfaction with the World Cup time, Remy immediately said that the time can be coordinated.

In order to win Southern Africa to join FIFA, Remi also worked hard.

"Now the Olympic Games no longer last for several months as before. The just-concluded Paris Olympic Games only lasted two months. There are 12 months in a year, which is enough to hold multiple large-scale sports events. It is completely possible to hold the Commonwealth Games in the first half of the year.

, the World Cup will be held in the second half of the year, there is no conflict between the two." Remy made a good calculation. Professional leagues in various countries are in the ascendant, and more and more sports events will appear in the future. Remy is looking forward to seeing that day.

"Yes, but the time still needs to be coordinated. The Southern African Football League is held from February to October every year. It is best to stagger the World Cup with the Southern African League." Roque was not polite and directly requested that the World Cup be held for Southern African Football.

The league gives way.

 About the match time, this is determined by the weather in southern Africa.

Southern Africa has the rainy season from October to February every year. Eighty percent of the annual rainfall is concentrated in these five months. Football matches are held outdoors and are greatly affected by weather factors, so the time is determined.

It is from February to October every year.

“The specific time still requires all of us to sit down and coordinate together——” Remy was more cautious and did not dare to make a decision easily.

 At present, of all the countries in the world, the only countries that have leagues are the United Kingdom, France, and Southern Africa.

The British Football League was established earlier, and the league system appeared as early as 1888. However, compared with the Southern African Football League, which just appeared recently, the British Football League has an imperfect competition system and a low overall level, which is different from the Southern African Football League.

Very far.

 The UK, which has the most advanced level of football in Europe, is like this, not to mention other countries.

Last year’s English Football League Championship was won by Huddersfield Town Football Team, the town——

To be precise, Remy doesn’t know what the level of football in southern Africa is like. After all, football in southern Africa has not gone abroad yet and has always been for self-entertainment.

But Remy soon found out.

 The next day there was a friendly match between Ziwei Public School and Locke Middle School. Locke invited Remy and Coubertin to watch it together.

 Remy was quite disapproving when he received the invitation. After all, it was a friendly match between two middle schools, and Remy didn't think it had much viewing value.

However, Remy would definitely not refuse Roque's invitation. On the way to Ziwei Public School, Remy and the Chairman of the Southern African Football Association, Malan Andres, were in the same car. On the way, Malan took the initiative to introduce Ziwei to Remi.

The origin of Wei Gong School and Locke Middle School.

 “I see, it’s just like the rowing match between Oxford and Cambridge——” After listening to Malan’s introduction, Remy disagreed.

As the two most famous schools in the UK, Oxford and Cambridge have a long history of eight-man rowing competition. Since the first competition was held in 1829, it has a history of nearly a hundred years.

The competition between these two schools has a long history. They both believe that they are the best school in the UK, so the competition extends from the academic field to the rowing competition where the winner is easier to determine. Every year, the rowing competition between Oxford and Cambridge can be

It attracted the attention of all British people, and its influence even expanded beyond the United Kingdom.

 In Remi’s view, the friendly football match between Ziwei School and Locke Middle School is obviously a forcible comparison with the rowing match between Oxford and Cambridge. Unfortunately, it is very different in terms of significance and intensity.

"Indeed, both Ziwei Public School and Locke Middle School believe that they are the best middle schools in Southern Africa. Since they are the best, they must strive to be the best in all aspects. The friendly match between Ziwei Public School and Locke Middle School has so far

It was held three times. The first two times were won by Locke Middle School. The third time was won by Ziwei Public School. This time Locke Middle School vowed revenge and Ziwei Public School would maintain the victory. The game was still very interesting. Many radio stations

It will all be broadcast live." Malan didn't care about Remy's attitude. It took a hundred years for the rowing match between Oxford and Cambridge to have its current influence. There is still time for Ziwei Public School and Locke Middle School.

“Do middle schools in Southern Africa also have football teams?” Remy’s focus was obviously different from Malan’s.

"Of course, the popularity of football in southern Africa is very high, and Nyasaland does the best in this regard. Every weekend, countless parents take their children to football stadiums to watch games. Cultivating fans must start from an early age." Malan Haha

Laughing, the Southern African Football League now has a promotion and relegation system. There are a total of 20 teams participating in the first division. In principle, every state has a chance.

 Principles are just principles. Specific to the number of teams, Nyasaland has a clear advantage. 12 of the 20 teams are from Nyasaland.

There is no way. The earliest city league in southern Africa started in Los Angeles. The level of football in Nyasaland is the highest. Among the 12 first-class teams, Los Angeles has six, accounting for half of the country.

Under the First Division, there are also the Second Division and the Third Division. The Second Division is a league organized by states, and the Third Division is a league held in cities. According to last year's statistics, there are more than 600 football clubs in Southern Africa. Large-scale football clubs

The club has begun echelon building and formed football teams of different age groups to participate in the competition.

“Very good!” Remy finally had some expectations for the friendly match between Ziwei Public School and Locke Middle School. Although Remy still believed that the game would not be too exciting, it was a good opportunity to learn about southern African football.

This game was played at the stadium of Ziwei Public School.

What Remy didn't expect was that Ziwei Public School, a middle school, actually had a stadium with stands, although there was only one stand, which surprised Remy.

 You must know that many regular football clubs in Europe do not have their own stadiums, and many league games between clubs are held on public grounds.

What also surprised Remy was the enthusiasm of Johannesburg people for this football match.

Strictly speaking, Ziwei City and Johannesburg are two cities, but now with the development of the economy, the two cities have been connected together, which made Remy mistakenly think that Ziwei City is also a part of Johannesburg.

When the motorcade arrived at Ziwei Public School, there were many spectators around the football field who came to watch the football match. Many of them were parents of students from these two schools, and there were also students who graduated from these two schools and came back specially to watch.

Contest.

 It can be easily seen from the clothing that those wearing white sportswear are supporters of Locke Middle School; those wearing lavender sportswear are supporters of Ziwei Public School.

What Remy didn't notice was that the football teams of both middle schools actually had sponsors. The sponsor of the Rock Middle School football team was Brave, and the sponsor of Ziwei Public School was Pinnacle. They were also two major clothing companies, one for each.

Really clear distinction between Jing and Wei.

When he walked into the stands, the staff brought two scarves for Remi to choose from. Remi chose the lavender scarf that represented Ziwei Public School.

Then Remy noticed that Rock wanted both.

 Sure enough, adults don’t make choices.

Before the game started, Remy looked around. The only stand was full, and the other three hillsides were also crowded with spectators watching the game. Remy estimated that there were at least 5,000 people at the scene, which made Remy secretly scared.

 In local football matches in the UK, even the championship team Huddersfield does not have so many spectators in every game.

The game on the field has not yet started, and the audience is already amusing themselves and making waves. Although Locke Middle School is an away game, the momentum of the fans is not weak at all. On the hillside facing the stands, the fans of Locke Middle School are sitting together, forming a circle.

There was actually a conductor in front of the huge phalanx, who was shouting rhythmically to cheer for the Locke Middle School team.

The fans of Ziwei Public School did not show any weakness. Most of them were fans of Ziwei Public School on this side of the stand. There were more than a dozen big drums in the front row of the stand, and some fans were holding big drums embroidered with the logo of Ziwei Public School.

Qi flew around the field, and when he reached the opposite hillside, he deliberately stopped to provoke him.

This pause immediately aroused huge boos on the opposite hillside, but no one yelled, and the atmosphere was still very friendly.

 Seeing this scene, Remi was simply too satisfied.

  Putting aside the excitement of the game, the atmosphere at the scene fully met all Remy's requirements for a successful football match.
