There is nothing better than travelling abroad to watch football, whether
you decide to buy FC
Barcelona tickets to watch the Catalan giants or AC Milan tickets to watch
the San Siro derby. The 2010 FIFA World Cup, to be held in South Africa, will
be an event of lights, sound, noise and - of course - football. In 2005, a
provisional list of 13 stadiums was drawn up and presented to FIFA; in March
2006, this list was narrowed down to 10. Here is some information about some of
the stadiums to be used.
• The FNB stadium (aka Soccer City) is located in Johannesburg and although
still under construction, will host the opening and closing matches of the
tournament. When construction is completed, the stadium will hold 94,700 people
and have revamped changing facilities and floodlights.
• The Moses Mabhida stadium is located in Durban, has a planned capacity of
70,000-80,000 people and is intended to be a multi-use stadium, not just for
football matches. The stadium will host 8 matches in total, including 5 group
games and a semi-final.
• The Green Point stadium in Cape Town is another stadium still
under-construction and will host the same amount of World Cup games as the Moses
Mabhida Stadium. It is expected to hold around 68,000 supporters and is likely
to be used for football and rugby matches after the World Cup.
• The Ellis Park stadium in Johannesburg is currently being upgraded and should
hold around 65,000 supporters for the World Cup. It will host 7 games in total
for the tournament and should be completed before 2009, in plenty of time for
the World Cup.
• The Loftus Versfeld stadium in Pretoria is currently undergoing some slight
upgrading in time for the tournament with the scoreboard, floodlights, sound
system and stadium roof all receiving attention. These upgrades should be
completed within the next few months which leaves plenty of time before the
World Cup.
