# Soccer: Spectators won’t be allowed to bring vuvuzelas to World Cup games. World governing body FIFA banned the plastic horns from venues in Canada, the US and Mexico. In the 2010 tournament in South Africa, vuvuzelas were everywhere, but wasn’t as popular with the rest of the world for their monotonous droning sound. FIFA also prohibited whistles, air horns and other excessively loud noise-making devices. The tournament starts on Thursday with the opening match between Bafana Bafana and Mexico in Mexico City.
