Hyundai Motor, a sponsor of the 2010 World Cup, plans to donate one million soccer balls to Africa.

The balls will be delivered to African children under the names of people who purchase a Hyundai vehicle or members of the automaker's official micro-website set up for this year's soccer event.

The first ball was donated by figure skating gold medalist Kim Yu-na and was delivered to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon at an event in Johannesburg on Tuesday.

The balls will be distributed through international organizations to countries like South Africa and Egypt.
