How exciting! I am so excited just to turn on the television and watch the games of the football World Cup. A World Cup on my continent for the first time. That is simply a great feeling. It is an honour and a privilege for all African countries to host the best teams in the world. It means so much to us.

Regardless if it’s Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Cameroon or Ivory Coast – for every participating nation it’s a big opportunity and a big challenge to represent the continent with their appearance. In European media you really only see negative headlines. That is too bad. There are lots of wonderful sides to Africa which can be discovered and make one fall in love with the continent. And with the World Cup we have a big chance of showing these beautiful sides.

 

Maybe I will be back in Kenya by the final. I would then be watching the final with my family and friends. That will be a lot of fun. Of course I hope that an African team will reach the final. I think Ghana have the best chance of going far. But I am also anxious to see how Nigeria play after the loss against Argentina. Of course the injuries to Michael Essien and John Obi Mikel will have an impact. It is a loss for every spectator not being able to watch them in action. But they themselves are saddest about the news. A World Cup on their own continent would have certainly been the highlight of their careers.

Really, it doesn’t matter which African team advances the furthest. The entire continent will be behind every team. The excitement is huge. I can’t even really imagine what the celebrations would be like if the World Cup trophy was to stay in Africa. Should the African teams get knocked out early, of course I will be supporting Germany as well. But my favourite is Brazil. I was a fan of the South American ball magicians even as a little girl.

 

Yours Doreen Nabwire Omondi
