CNN Press Release: CNN and Foursquare Team Up to Connect World Cup Fans Exclusive badges tied to more than 100 viewing venues across 32 countries

Putting football fans at the heart of its 2010 FIFA World Cup coverage, CNN has checked in with location-based social network Foursquare to connect fans all over the world throughout the month-long tournament. This is the first time Foursquare has teamed up with a media company for a multi-country initiative, with this one stretching across all 32 countries represented in the World Cup.

Starting Friday, June 11, World Cup fans who follow CNN at www.foursquare.com/cnn can check in at more than 100 venues to unlock special CNN badges. In order to unlock these badges, fans must check in at least three times at any of these CNN-tagged locations between June 11 and July 11. Fans in South Africa can check in on Foursquare from stadiums and landmarks to earn the South Africa Explorer badge, while fans in the other 31 competing countries can check in at viewing venues to earn the Super Fan badge.

“With mobile users increasingly using location-based networking services like Foursquare, the World Cup provides the perfect stage for CNN to connect with a new generation of fans across the globe,” said Nick Wrenn, vice president of digital services for CNN International. “The fans are at the center of CNN’s World Cup coverage – whether they’re in South Africa or watching from home – and our special CNN badges on Foursquare are a fun and innovative extension to identify and interact with ‘Super Fans’.”

This unique opportunity gives fans the ability to share with their friends where they are watching as well as the chance to provide “tips” to other Foursquare users for each location. CNN staffers and correspondents will also leave tips for users across many of these locations.

Users can access more details about the special CNN badges on Foursquare as well as CNN’s complete coverage of South Africa 2010 by visiting www.cnn.com/worldcup.

CNN Press Release - Top interviews, global reach help take network's coverage beyond borders

Putting football fans at the heart of its 2010 FIFA World Cup coverage, CNN has created a global fanzone to unite and inform its sport-enthusiastic audience across CNN International, CNN.com, CNN iReport and CNN en Español.

“In the run-up to the World Cup, CNN has showcased the biggest interviews and established a reputation as the go-to place for football fans around the world,” said Tony Maddox, executive vice president and managing director of CNN International. “We have harnessed our global resources across television, online and social media platforms to genuinely unite the world around this spectacular sporting event.”

View from South Africa:

From Soccer City to Fan Park, CNN will have a team of eight correspondents in South Africa reporting live across CNN International and CNN en Español, delivering comprehensive coverage including match results, logistics and key storylines to viewers around the world. These reporters include Pedro Pinto, Alex Thomas, Michael Holmes, Isha Sesay, Robyn Curnow, Nkepile Mabuse, Diego Bustos and David McKenzie.

McKenzie will spend the entire month traveling around South Africa in a Winnebago and taking the pulse of the host country. As part of CNN's Team Winnebago, McKenzie will help tell the story of the World Cup through the voices of South Africa. From Cape Town to Graaff Reinet and Qunu to Soweto, Team Winnebago will cover more than 3,000 kilometers of highway, dusty tracks and snow-capped mountains during this month-long road trip. Users will be able to track McKenzie's journey on CNN.com through an interactive map that will showcase Team Winnebago's progress as well as the special reports they will file from the road. In addition, McKenzie will tweet about the places he has visited and where Team Winnebago will go next.

Aaron Mokoena , the captain of the host nation South Africa, will file exclusive video diaries for CNN and when appropriate, contribute exclusively to the network as a World Cup analyst. Ahead of the tournament, Mokoena, who is Bafana Bafana's most capped player, will be armed with a CNN flip cam so that he can provide viewers and users with an inside view of the Cup. These video diaries from the South Africa captain will be featured on CNN International and CNN.com at www.cnn.com/worldcup.
