2010 FIFA World Cup (Durban)
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 Durban 2010 FIFA
World Cup matches will take place at Moses Mabhida Stadium and ABSA
Stadium (formerly King's Park). The ABSA Stadium was revamped in
1990 and as a regular international sports venue, has excellent
event facilities. The Moses Mabhida Stadium will host one of the
2010 FIFA World Cup semi-finals and is being enhanced with
Olympic-standard football facilities, seating up to 80 000
spectators. 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: Moses Mabhida Stadium and ABSA Stadium;
