A shrine to Pretoria's Afrikaaners, the Loftus Versfeld Stadium seats over 50,000 people and was one of the stadiums hosting matches in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The land on which the stadium was built was first used for sporting events in 1903 and is named after Robert Owen Loftus Versfeld, who is attributed with establishing organised sport in Pretoria. Loftus Versfeld stadium is home to the local rugby team, the Blue Bulls, and has hosted numerous sporting events such as the 1995 Rugby World Cup and the 1996 CAF Africa Cup of Nations.
