'Be on the Ball' - this is the message to England football fans ahead of the World Cup tournament which kicks off on 11 June.
In anticipation of the estimated 20,000 England fans that are expected at the tournament, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has launched this campaign to ensure fans have a safe and enjoyable trip.
The FCO has also partnered with authorities in South Africa, and is conducting an emergency planning exercise, where local volunteers are playing the part of British nationals injured in a major coach crash.
Judith Slater, Deputy High Commissioner: "We do an exercise like this before any major sporting event, or other event actually, where we expect there to be a lot of British visitors. So for example, when the World Cup was held in Germany in 2006, a very similar exercise to this was held in advance and it was found to be extremely useful."
Among the advice from the 'Be on the Ball' campaign is to:
Kevin Miles, Football Supporters Federation: "I know from experience that preparation counts for an enormous amount in advance of a football tournament and in particular, preparation for eventualities that you hope will never happen.
"What I find particularly positive, this time around, is that a lot of the government's attention seems to be focussed on making sure that the fans get the most positive experience that they can while they're in South Africa and being there to help and support them in all eventualities."
Football fans in South Africa are just as excited as England fans:
"I'm so excited about it, I really want to watch it."
"It's one of those events that's unique. It may be a once in a lifetime event."
"Everyone's so excited. It's finally here."
"It's a good thing it's coming to South Africa. It's one of those tournaments where you want to be there."
