Carol Manana - Confederations Cup Draw (FIFA)

We had the extreme pleasure of designing an elegant outfit for the sophisticated Me Carol Manana who was the hostess for the FCC Draw at the SCC, in South Africa.

“Carol’s dress was outrageously beautiful, and just what we had asked for – you guys are brilliant!” – Mr Sean Simpson after the FIFA draw at Sandton convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Me Manana kicked off proceedings (was broadcasted to 97 countries), warming up the crowd for the draw master, FIFA Secretary General, Jerome Valcke, to conduct the draw with the assistance of the Miss World finalists from the eight nations participating in next year's tournament.  This was done in the presence of the Chairman of the Organising Committee of the Fifa Confederations Cup, Issa Hayatou, on the 22nd November 2008.

Approximately 900 guests attended the event including Spanish coach, Vicente Del Bosque, USA boss Bob Bradley, Iraq's Brazil-born manager Jorvan Vieira, Egyptian master tactician Hassan Shehata and South Africa coach Joel Santana.
In his keynote address, chairman of the Organising Committee for 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa and FIFA vice-president, Issa Hayatou, said he was excited about the tournament as it would be the culmination of a long process and "Africa's proudest moment".

Background of FIFA:  “The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the 19th FIFA World Cup, the premier international football tournament. It is scheduled to take place between 11 June and 11 July 2010 in South Africa. The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the culmination of a qualification process that began in August 2007 and involved 204 of the 208 FIFA national teams. As such, it matches the 2008 Summer Olympics as the sports event with the most competing nations.This will be the first time that the tournament has been hosted by an African nation, after South Africa beat Morocco and Egypt in an all-African bidding process. Italy are the defending champions.

The 2010 draw for the finals took place on 4 December 2009 in Cape Town, and featured Charlize Theron and David Beckham…” – from FIFA and Wikipedia…
