What's the name of the cartoon of animals playing football?
It is the official mascot of the 20 10 World Cup in South Africa.
This is a leopard, not a lion.
This cartoon cheetah's name is Zakumi. It has a green mane and represents a football field. Cheetah is the fastest animal on land, mainly distributed in Africa. The South African World Cup Organizing Committee said that Zakumi has many meanings in South Africa/KOOC-0//KOOC-0/official language: Za stands for South Africa, and kumi stands for "/KOOC-0/0" in many languages on the African continent; Zakumi can also be interpreted as "come on".
Beijing time officially appeared in Johannesburg, South Africa in the early morning of September 23rd, 2008. The Organizing Committee of the World Cup in South Africa also set a date of birth for Zakumi, who was born in June 1994, which is of epoch-making significance for South Africa, which ended apartheid. So Zakumi also represents the new South Africa.

FIFA Secretary-General valco, who attended the ceremony, said: "Zakumi represents South Africa and the South African people. We believe it will be very popular in the FIFA Cup and the 20 10 World Cup."
There is no doubt that Zakumi is proud to be the official mascot of the World Cup in South Africa, and he is determined to be the best host for his beloved motherland. He represents the image of South Africa and the whole African continent with self-confidence, nobility, enthusiasm, meticulous hospitality and sophisticated manners. Zakumi likes playing football because he thinks it is an important way to break the language barrier and communicate with others. So he always takes his football with him so that he can invite people around him to play at any time. Zakumi loves football. He decided to dye his hair green. The reason is that Zakumi thinks that green hair will be his perfect protective color when playing football on the court; And when he was hunting in the wilderness, it was like wearing a small wreath on his head. Now Zakumi's main task is to contribute to the 20 10 World Cup in South Africa, make it a grand, joyful and unforgettable event, send warm greetings to thousands of international guests and show the spirit of the African continent. "He hopes to create a good atmosphere for the fans and enhance the excitement of the 20 10 World Cup held in Africa for the first time. He is proud of South Africa and hopes that the whole world can meet here. " Lucas radebe finally said. There is profound historical significance behind his lovely life experience, and "Zakumi" has strong expectations. The first two letters "Zha" in the name "Zakumi" is the abbreviation of South Africa, the most important language in South Africa 1 1. The latter letter "Miku" means "10" in many African languages, representing the year of the World Cup in South Africa-and this is also the number of jerseys worn by most top football players. A spokesman for the organizing Committee also said: "In some languages in southern Africa,' Zakumi' also means' welcome'." Danny Jordan, chairman of the South African World Cup Organizing Committee, said: "Zakumi is the pride of South Africa. He is the ideal ambassador for the first World Cup held in Africa. He was born in 1994, the same age as the democracy in this country. He is young, energetic, smart and full of himself, and truly represents the spirit of everyone, young and old, not just South Africans. " Since 1966 World Cup in England, the most important football feast in the world has a mascot, that is, a lion who has been wearing a rice flag. Unlike his predecessors, Zakumi is unique because he is a mascot with a birthday. 1June 994 16, this is the day when the apartheid policy in South Africa came to an end, and it also became the meaningful birthday of the little leopard "Zakumi". At the same time, this day is also South Africa's "Youth Day", commemorating the protests against apartheid of South African youth that broke out in 1976 under white rule. By the time the World Cup opens, Zakumi will be 16 years old.
