The day had finally arrived! As football fans and all-round sport lovers, we have waited for this day since the 2010 World Cup ended right here on South African soil four years ago.
This year’s big event, is taking place (as we all know too well) in a country that is renowned for its love of football and exuberant celebrations. Thus, we are thoroughly excited for today’s opening ceremony and kick off match.
If the Rio carnival is anything to go by, we can be sure to expect lots of feathers, lots of glitter and lots of dancing in tonights opening ceremony. As for the first game of the tournament, Brazil vs Croatia, we’re also pretty sure who we would put our money on.
If you plan on watching the entire extravaganza tonight (obviously you are), here are some key times as to when to catch what:
On SuperSport, the World Cup Welcome will start at 19h00, followed by the Opening Ceremony at 20h15 and the Brazil vs Croatia game at 20h45.
