Stadium Soccer City

Soccer City, sometimes referred to as the FNB Stadium, is a stadium located in the Soweto area of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is located next to the South African Football Association headquarters (SAFA House) where both the FIFA offices and the Local Organising Committee for the 2010 FIFA World Cup is housed.

A football-specific stadium, Soccer City currently has a capacity of 91,141, the largest in Africa. Most of the largest football events in South Africa are played at Soccer City and the venue is better suited to these events than nearby Coca-Cola Park, where the final for the Rugby World Cup in 1995 was held. Soweto and the National Exhibition Centre in Nasrec are nearby. Reed more »
