| Cities And Stadiums |

One of the most artistic football venues in
South Africa, the newly-built Green Point Stadium is situated in one of the
much sought-after areas in the city of Cape Town. Green Point Stadium is one
of the two semi-final venues for the FIFA World Cup.
This multi-purpose venue is also going to be used to stage major events and
concerts. Fans will be a stone’s throw from the ocean and the mountains of
Cape Town will also provide the backdrop for matches. The location is ideal
as it is a short walk from the transportation hub of the city. The new
stadium has been partly built on land that was previously used as a golf
course.
The stadium, which has an exterior that is covered with noise-reducing
cladding has a capacity of 64,100 and is scheduled for completion in
December 2009. The Green Point Common, on which the new 2010 stadium is
being built, was originally much larger than what now remains, and included
most of the land between the sea and Signal Hill, stretching from the city
centre towards Sea Point.
The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, set on the shores of the North End Lake is
the first football dedicated stadium in the city or surrounding areas. The
stadium, one of the newly-built stadiums for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, was
completed a year prior to the commencement of the world’s greatest show on
earth a major milestone for the city.
The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium will host the match for third place, and a
quarter-final amid a total of eight matches during the FIFA World Cup. The
stadium has an eye-catching, unique roof-structure and a spectacular view,
overlooking the North End Lake.
Home to some of the country’s most fanatical group of supporters, the Free
State Stadium is likely to be the centre of attention during the FIFA World
Cup™. The stadium was given a plush new look for the 2009 FIFA
Confederations Cup. It hosted the memorable semi-final match between Spain
and USA where the latter secured one of the biggest surprises of the
tournament by sending the European champions packing in front of a capacity
crowd.
The newly-built Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban will host one of the
semi-finals of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The ground epitomises the
architectural innovation on display in South Africa and takes its design
inspiration from the South African flag, with its grand arch representing
the unity of this sport-loving nation. The two legs of the arch on the
southern side of the stadium come together to form a single footing on the
northern side, symbolising the new unity of a once-divided country.
