Football fans may not be able to cheer with vuvuzela, a traditional South African horn, during the 2010 South Africa World Cup which will continue through July 12.

Football fans may not be able to cheer with vuvuzela, a traditional South African horn, during the 2010 South Africa World Cup which will continue through July 12.

Danny Jordan, FIFA 2010 World Cup organizing chief, said that FIFA is now reviewing the ban of the noisy horns at stadiums. His remarks came at a time when broadcasting staff, soccer players and fans filed an increasing number of complaints against the instrument.

Vuvuzelas make loud noise, annoying not only players at the fields, but also visitors at their accommodations. Some devout South African fans played the horns early in the morning, waking up foreign tourists in sleep.

Earlier Sunday, Rich Mkhondo, a spokesman for the local organizing committee, said, "Everybody loves Vuvuzela. They are the symbol of the tournament."

But as opposition rose against it, the committee showed a moderated and considerate response to the use of the horns. Some shopping malls in South Africa already forbade bringing in vuvuzelas into their complex.

It seems that controversy on vuvuzelas would continue through the World Cup. Some African fans reacted strongly against banning the instruments.

"Vuvuzela is an old tradition of South Africa and is the 12th member of our team," said one native fan.



시끄러운 부부젤라 퇴출되나

부부젤라(응원나팔)의 경기장 영구 퇴출 가능성이 제기됐다.

대니 조던 남아공 월드컵 조직위원장은 14일(한국시간) 부부젤라의 경기장 반입을 금지하는 방안을 검토 중이라고 밝혔다. 이는 월드컵을 중계하는 방송사와 참가선수, 팬들의 불만이 속출함에 따른 것.

부부젤라는 정신을 산란하게 할 정도로 시끄러울 뿐더러, 경기장을 직접 찾은 응원팀의 응원소리를 완전히 묻히게 하고 있다. 부부젤라에 대한 성토는 경기장 밖에서도 나온다. 입국하는 해외 팬들이 공항 로비에서부터 부부젤라의 달갑지 않은 환영을 받고 있기 때문이다. 일부 남아공 팬들은 동 트기 전부터 부부젤라를 불어대 호텔에서 곤히 잠든 외국 관광객을 깨운다는 불만도 나온다.

대회 조직위는 전날까지만 해도 리치 음콘도 대변인을 통해 "누구나 부부젤라를 좋아 한다. 부부젤라는 이 대회의 상징이다"며 비난 여론을 일축했지만 퇴출론이 높아지자 신중한 모습을 보이고 있다. 고객들의 불만이 제기되자 남아공의 일부 쇼핑몰은 이미 부부젤라의 반입을 금지했다.

하지만 남아공 축구팬들의 저항도 만만치하다. "부부젤라는 남아공 팀 응원의 오랜 전통이며 열두 번째 멤버"라는 것. 당분간 이 시끄런 나팔을 둘러싼 '잡음'이 적잖을 전망이다.
