This Thursday evening - 1 July 2010 - Auckland City FC will be paying tribute to their club captain Ivan Vicelich, who has just arrived back in the country after New Zealand�s great performance at the FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010.

 

Along with welcoming him home Auckland City will be making a special presentation to Ivan in recognition of the fact that he is the first player in the club�s history to have participated at a World Cup Finals tournament. The award will also acknowledge Ivan�s long and outstanding service to football in New Zealand and Oceania over the past two decades.

 

Entry to this function, to be held at the club�s Kiwitea Street clubrooms in Sandringham,  is free with doors and a cash bar opening from 6pm � all football supporters are welcome to attend. The formalities, including speeches by a few individuals who have been involved in Ivan�s career, will commence at 8pm.

Yeah, top news item on the front page of the fever even.

I think "Inside Africa" on Sky Sport 3 tonight (8:30pm) might be featuring a few clips from the function held for Ivan last week.
