Cape Town - Six people were injured in a crowd crush at the World Cup fan zone on Thursday when thousands of fans attempted to get into the venue, a city spokesperson said.

Pieter Cronjé said: "People were anxious to get in and just surged ahead. Fortunately it was a contained incident and calm was restored quickly."

All the injured were South African.

Officials later prevented people from entering the zone at the historic Grand Parade.

Excitement is reaching fever pitch with less than 24 hours to the host nation's opening game and tournament kick-off against Mexico in Johannesburg.
