The World Cup is currently taking place in South Africa and people all over the world are glued to television sets at home, in bars and in town squares, to watch their country play.
The World Cup is actually everywhere one looks – all over TV, the Internet and even supermarket products.
A lot of interesting graphic design is coming out of the World Cup, so we’ve put together a compilation of some of the best designed World Cup 2010 websites. We’ve also included a few African websites for more inspiration.

  World Cup Fever is all around the globe and everybody is supporting his team in a very unique style and there is a lot of hustle for the new design of the site with reference to World Cup 2010. It is quite amazing to see all the collections of the website here.

  As a web designer living in Cape Town, it’s awesome to see such interest the rest of the world is having in both the World Cup and South Africa itself.
  Thanks for such a great collection – I think the Twitter site is great!! (apparently twitter went down on the opening day, due to the load from SA!)
  For me personally, I haven’t closed the official FIFA site since the tournament started

  I don’t think Mr Rooney will be so confident today, I watched Germany hammer England in a bar in Carcassonne, France. Not a good afternoon, I would have been better working on new web designs.
  These are great designs by the way, brilliant use of graphics and some excellent arrangements of the component parts of the pages.
  Sorry to go on about the football, just don’t understand how they could perform so poorly.
