World Cup organiser considers vuvuzela ban after TV complaints

Sunday, 13 June 2010

Theircacophonousdinhas so far been a soundtrack for the World Cup, to the delight of some and theprofoundannoyanceof others. But organisers said that the vuvuzela, one of the most visible and certainly most audible motifs of the tournament's opening weekend, could yet bebannedfrom inside stadiums.

Fifa and organisers have already said that they will ban the instrument if any are thrown onto thepitchor used as aweaponandurgedfans not to blow them during nationalanthems.

"We did say that if any land on the pitch in anger we will take action. We've tried to get some order. We have asked for no vuvuzelas during national anthems or stadium announcements. It's difficult but we're trying to manage the best we can," he told.

"We've had some broadcasters and individuals [complaining] and it's something we are evaluating on anongoingbasis."

Fifa has previouslyshruggedoff complaints from broadcasters, players and coaches about the noise from the plastic horns that are being sold on every street corner in South African host cities.

Following last year's Confederations Cup, there were complaints from coaches, players and broadcasters about the noise. But Fifa said that the horns formed part of the unique African atmosphere of the tournament and refused to ban them.

But Jordaan himself, whobattledfor 16 years to bring the World Cup to South Africa, said he would prefer the 10 stadiums hosting the World Cup to ring to the sound of singing and dancing than thedroneof the vuvuzela. "I would prefer singing. It's always been a great generator of a wonderful atmosphere in stadiums and I would try toencouragethem to sing," he said. "In the days of the struggle (againstapartheid) we were singing, all through our history it's our ability to sing thatinspiredand drove the emotions."
