The mascot is a bright yellow leopard named "zakumi".
Among them, za is the international ** of South Africa, which means South Africa; Kumi means 10 in many African languages and represents the World Cup in 2010. Dressed in a white T-shirt, green shorts, and long, athletic hair with many knots, Zakumi looks like a soccer star galloping on a green field.
Danny Jordan, CEO of the organizing committee, said that the entire selection process for Zakumi took almost a year, with the design and production all taking place in South Africa. He explained that the leopard was chosen as the World Cup mascot because of the fact that the other four of South Africa's five animals (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhinoceros and leopard) have been used as mascots for sporting events many times, "The leopard is a fresh idea," Jordan said, adding that Zakumi is a "true South African" and the ideal ambassador for the first World Cup in Africa, he is young, smart and energetic, and will be loved by everyone.
Since the 1966 World Cup in Great Britain first released a mascot (a lion), mascots have played an increasingly important role in subsequent World Cup events.

South Africa 2010 World Cup mascot "Zakumi".
The mascot is a perfect reflection of the regional identity of Africa and the host country, South Africa. Full of speed and power, the cheetah is perfectly in line with the characteristics of the World Cup, and the mascot is named after South Africa. "ZA" is the nickname for South Africa, and "kumi" means "10" in various indigenous languages of Africa, and the number 10 is precisely the favorite number of football stars on the pitch.
In addition, Zakumi's hair is dyed green, not only in the football stadium, but also in the South African flag.
