2010 FIFA World Cup (Nelspruit)
The much anticipated 2010 FIFA World Cup will be held in South
Africa, with matches scheduled at 10 stadiums in nine cities. This
is the first time Africa will play host to the tournament and while
local infrastructure is being upgraded to meet the demands of the
estimated 3 million international spectators, tickets, flights and
accommodation are best booked well in advance. The Nelspruit 2010
FIFA World Cup matches will take place at Mbombela Stadium, one of
the new stadiums being constructed especially for the tournament.
This elevated stadium will be able to seat 40 000 spectators and
provide sporting and event facilities of an international standard,
bound to avert attention from the nearby Kruger National Park,
however briefly... With a guaranteed entry to the 2010 FIFA World
Cup as the host nation, South Africa is ready to do the 'Diski'
dance, blow on those Vuvuzela trumpets and play ball!
Venue: Mbombela Stadium;
Date: 16, 20, 23 and 25 June 2010;
