I've been wondering if SAA has painted any aircraft for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. My searches came-up empty handed. I remember when France had the World Cup, they flew special B744s with soccer players painted along the fuselage. I don't recall if there were any US aircraft with special liveries when the World Cup was played here in NY/NJ back in '94. Which US airline was the official sponsor back in '94?
No - nothing was revealed for the 2010 World Cup - unfortunate - being the hosts and also flying the US national team - which I was very surprised at - Delta has direct flights from Atlanta - but - they flew on SAA.

British Airways has painted soccer balls on the noses of some of their planes.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
that 747 with the soccer nose flies into JFK often. Keep an eye out for it. Looks like the entire plane got new paint as well. Before i left T7 that a/c was at T7 2-3 times a week.
I will look-out for the BA World Cup B744. I saw the Qantas B744 with the inscription "Come Home" including a soccer ball here at JFK a few weeks ago. It's almost impossible to see the SAA aircraft at T4. It's hidden from views of the windows where the public can view.
