The FIFA World Cup 2010
Nick Mitri (owner of Fireworks for Africa) and his team worked tirelessly
to ensure that all THREE shows went off without a hitch. You, and
everyone else lucky enough to witness this event, will remember the
breathtaking lights and colours for decades to come! This team has
proved their expertise and dedication once again.

But it wasn't all smooth sailing...
"
The roof of Soccer City is made of plastic and it took a lot of
convincing to obtain permission to fire at this venue. We received
permission only a week before the show and only as a result of
our experience in the field and the products that we use. I think
the fact that we handled the 58 shows for last year's IPL helped
to persuade the organisers!" said Nick.

4500 1-shots & 260 gerbs
were fired during the
60 sequences of the
1 min 48 secs of the closing display.

Said Mitri, "The task was daunting but I know my guys and I
knew that we could handle it. The FIFA World Cup gave us a brilliant
opportunity to showcase what we can actually do. It's tricky to tell
people how phenomenal pyrotechnics can be; they really have to see
them for themselves. We're just grateful that we were given such a
momentous platform on which to work."
