Former known as FNB Stadium, Soccer City Stadium is the flagship of 2010 FIFA WORLDCUP where the opening and closing ceremony will be held. The design of the stadium was selected from a series of concept designs ranging from acknowledgement of Jo’burg’s disappearing mine dumps; the kgotla (defined by the tree) of the African city state; the African map as a horizontal representation, which included the roof as a desert plane supported on tropical trees set within the mineral wealth of Southern Africa; to a representation of the protea, our national flower.
The calabash, or African pot, was selected to a new grand design of the stadium. Upgrade the capacity from 80.000 seat to 94.700 seat and adding 99 more suite hospitality to bring to 184, 15.000 car parking available.
